TRIUMPH TOLEDO £1,825
Smallest Triumph saloon model is now made in four-door form only, powered by a peppy 1.3-litre engine, in unit with Leyland's crisp 'single-rail' gearbox. Since early this year the Toledo has adopted a new grille similar to other Triumph saloons. Reverse and hazard warning lights, and reclining front seats are standard. The bodywork is basically the same as the 1500 TC and Dolomite models, but it has a smaller luggage boot. The wood facia lends a touch of class to the interior, and there are green anti-glare instrument lights. Heated rear window and door mirror are standard equipment.

TRIUMPH 1500 TC £2,087
Since last year's Motor Show the 1500 TC (TC signifies twin carburettors) has had its engine up-rated to Spitfire specification, so it is even livelier than before. Another improvement has been the adoption of Leyland's 'single-rail' gearbox (similar to the TR7), and there is a new-style gear-lever knob. The 1500 TC uses an identical four-door saloon body to the Dolomite models, and there is a door mirror as standard, as well as hazard warning lights. The interior of the TC is luxurious and inviting, and inertia-reel seat belts are standard. A sprightly and comfortable Triumph.

TRIUMPH DOLOMITE
Dolomite: £2,401
Sprint: £2,937
Triumph Dolomite four-door saloons come in two breeds, the eight-valve 1854 cc Dolomite, and the 16-valve 1998 cc Dolomite Sprint. Both cars have identical bodywork with cloth seats, wood facia and fillets, but whereas the Dolomite has plated wheeltrims, the Sprint has light-alloy wheels. The Dolomite has 100 mph performance, and is a favourite with sportsminded family motorists, whereas the 115 mph Sprint is often found in racing and rallies. The Sprint is also perfectly suitable for everyday motoring and, like the Dolomite, is available with automatic transmission.
The Dolomite Sprint was selected for a Design Council award as a sporting four-door saloon combining high performance and luxury with reasonable economy.

TRIUMPH 2000 Mk. II From £2,186
Detail styling changes have kept the original Michelotti line competitive and the smooth 2-litre six-cylinder engine gives many buyers enough power for today's limited speeds. Transmission options on this Triumph Six include Laycock de Normanville overdrive or Borg Warner automatic. Independent rear suspension by semi-trailing wishbones and coil springs ensures a comfortable ride and the interior finish is in traditional English quality style.
TRIUMPH 2500TC £2,310
Slotted between the 2000 and the fuel-injection 2500 PI the twin carburetter TC has more performance than one, better economy than the other. Power output is 99 b.h.p. against 120 from the same engine with injection. Saloon and station wagon are available. All Triumph sixes have new grilles, new bumpers with rubber inserts, new instrument panel with green lighting and reminder lights for safety harness.
TRIUMPH 2500S From £3,353
Latest six-cylinder member of the Triumph saloon range is the 2500S with overdrive, power-assisted steering, light-alloy wheels, seat head-restraints, and complete instrumentation as standard equipment. The fuel-injected 'P.I.' has been dropped from the range, but the newly-adopted large carburettors of the 'S' (two 45 mm) give the engine plenty of power. The less lavishly-equipped 2500 TC, and the two-litre 2000 TC have also been equipped with the large SUHS6 carburettors. Overdrive is an optional extra on both models. A five-door Estate is available on the 2500S only.

TRIUMPH SPITFIRE 1500
Soft top: £1,833
Hard top: £1,886
Triumph's popular little sports two-seater has gained a larger engine. The current 1½-litre unit develops 71 bhp compared to the old 1296 cc engine's 61 bhp, yet due to higher gearing the 1500 is more economical on fuel. In spite of the higher gearing, acceleration is improved, as well as top speed and quiet-running. The beefiness of the larger motor has reduced the top gear acceleration from 50-70 mph by more than five seconds. The gearbox too, is different, the 'single-rail' type being an adaptation of the 1.3-litre Morris Marina unit. There is an optional overdrive.

TRIUMPH TR6 £2,040
Still the dream of many young drivers and a lot who are no longer young. The TR6 is a sports car in the British tradition, strictly a two-seater, with a solid six-in-line engine, but with modern features like independent rear suspension. Though it was introduced in 1969 as successor to the TR5, clever re-styling has kept the appearance up-to-date. It now has front spoiler, bright hub trims and plated wheel nuts. Overdrive is optional.

TRIUMPH STAG
From £4,099

A padded roll-over cage gives protection against accidental inversions when it is used open or with the soft top erected. It can also be had with rigid coupe top. Transmission is by four-speed box with Laycock overdrive; Borg Warner automatic is also available.
