Triumph Dolomite, the winner that never was
The Triumph Dolomite development story – it started life as an upscale and technically interesting small saloon, but the Triumph 1300/Toledo/Dolomite ended up evolving in many fascinating and quite innovative ways. In this article we tell the story of this sports saloon which should have been the making of Triumph – but, instead, it ended up being left in production too long, and unreplaced. A sad end for a car with such obvious potential.

Brackets for additional headlights
Fog lights and extra beam lights are a rather common optional on classic cars where they have a aesthetic - thanks to the reference to the rally cars - more than practical application. If you are planning to do it on your Spitfire Mk3 (or GT6 Mk2), bear in mind that it's not necessary to make a hole on the bumper or build a complex support.

Triumph Stag. Defeat snatched from the jaws of victory
The Triumph Stag development story is a tragic missed opportunity – it had everything: looks, power, a soundtrack to die for and a market niche all to itself. Yet it died after a short production run, and drove many of its first owners to distraction. The Stag was BL’s nearly car – it nearly had the armoury to take over the world, had it not been for that fragile engine.

Triumph Spitfire e GT6
If you're Italian, one problem when looking for Triumph literature is the difficulty to get any in your language. If you're not confident with English, there are really few books that may help you and this, written by Eros talking about the "sister" Spitfire and GT6, is one of them.

Spitfire MKIV
Nuovo modello della serie Spitfire's, con una decisa conversione alle linee tese e più moderne. Pur mantenendo la filosofia costruttiva originaria questa versione apporta molte novità sul piano estetico, sia nei lamierati della carrozzeria sia nel disegno dell'interno. Praticamente invariata la parte meccanica, si deve iniziare a pensare alle norme anti inquinamento e ai consumi.
