[edit] Move
I moved the article from Triumph Dolomite(Pre War) mainly because of style issues: a) needed a space after dolomite, b) 'pre' should not be capitalised, c) needed a hyphen, d) although universally understood, 'war' is ambiguous and the car club calls itself 'Pre 1940 Triumph Owners Club' —Moondyne 01:43, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Change
I changed the Vitesse to Continental as this the correct title for the model with the flat grill. The Vitesse was a varient of the Gloria model not the Dolomite. Refference "Triumph Cars: The Complete Story" by Graham Robson and Richard Langworth and the Pre-1940 Triumph Owners Club website where a picture of the Continental is shown http://www.pre-1940triumphownersclub.org/dolomites.htm 17:22, 02 August 2007 - AD Durnin
Apologies for changing the name back to Vitesse, my mistake. Does anyone know how the Dolomite 14/65 and Royal saloon fit into the range? Malcolma 17:10, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
I'll try and post the complete listing for all years within the next week. The Royal was only produced in 1939 just before Triumph went in to recievership. It was based on the 2 Litre chassis which is longer than the 4 cylinder chassis, but featured a wider body and doors that fitted flush with the rest of the panel work. Many differnet models were offered by the factory including a four seater tourer, but it is unclear how many were actually made let alone survive as nearly all production records were lost during the war. 13:26, 03 August 2007 - AD Durnin
