1972 Triumph Dolomite 1850
Re: 1972 Triumph Dolomite 1850
Door's a bit on the small side for getting in though, don't you think?
Re: 1972 Triumph Dolomite 1850
Big enough for the gas bottles and the toilet tank though. 
People can always come and go via the door immediately behind the n/s door of the Rover bit of the device. There's also a 3 litre P5-based camper in a similar style, it uses a cut down caravan body (Astral baby Scout or A-line 10 footer perhaps?
) and although a little less tall, somehow lacks the elegance of the 5B one in this thread. I would post a picture of that but the only copy I can find on t'internet is riddled with malware and I have no desire to break this forum.J

Guess what?
Re: 1972 Triumph Dolomite 1850
You've bough another Dolomite, this time one that's mint and has never been taken out of the box, the plugholes we're looking at are stickers applied by the factory to seal that box? Please tell me I guessed correctly, then sell me the orange one so that I can experiment with a Corsa steering column conversion!

I think an MGF electric column would work better, it's family, rather than lumber it with GM shite
Alas it's not a factory fresh minty boxed new one, good guess, but it's not right[/Roy Walker]

Say what you see
There was supposed to be a local meet on this afternoon, I didn't manage to get down until a bit later on, but it appears the 3 or 4 others that turned up didn't stay long, and had made a move home, it was freezing and as blowy as, as it was down on the quay, so after waiting 10/15 minutes went for a drive through the New Forest. A friend had asked for a video of it out and about (he's from down under you see) so took the opportunity to make a short one while out and about.
Lovely day for it...

As I had to look for my odd noise, while wheel was off, the polishing kit came out. One down, 2 1/2 to go 
Re: 1972 Triumph Dolomite 1850
you only have 3 1/2 wheels? Is your funny noise a wheel speed related thud, thud, thud accompanied with a bit of a vibration?
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

Re: 1972 Triumph Dolomite 1850
Funny you should mention that, as it was wheel related!
I managed half of another wheel before cold and darkness stopped play.
