Okay, I'll change it back to Triumphs:
Someone (of Triumph factory experience) once said that the T2000/T2500
and Dolomite were "Badge Engineered", so I wonder what chassis or
platform series they formed for what other manufacturers?
==AM==
That makes little to no sense to me. The 2000/2500/2.5PI are related to what
ultimately became the Dolomite mostly in that they share similar styling.
What ultimately became the Dolomite started in the mid-1960s as the Triumph
1300, at that time a front-wheel-drive car. The FWD continued into the 1970s,
but the car was also redesigned for rear-wheel-drive as the Toledo, still with
the 1296cc engine. Evolutions of that RWD chassis ended up with the
slant-4-engined Dolimite.
