Triumph Dolomite... The somewhat wimpy
Dolomite saloon of the 50s & 60s which started out as a front
engine FWD car in a number of different varieties. I saw a lot
of the latter in England back in the 60s.
The pre-war Triumph Dolomite, however was a thing of beauty
and fairly gutsy. It won a number of races in the mountains of
Italy (The Dolomites - where else?!). I believe Donal Healey
raced one of these cars in Europe in the 30s.
