trigolf Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 It's immaculate Gary. Unfortunately, it's that gopping poo brown colour, which might affect the price..🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 The reason it is immaculate is due to the colour combination. The owner could bring themselves to be seen in it so left it hidden in the garage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Flinn Posted February 15 Author Report Share Posted February 15 (edited) Brown was a surprisingly popular colour in the 1970's and I thought it was making a comeback a few years ago too, heavens knows why in both cases? PS - Apologies to owners of Brown cars!!🫣 Gary Edited February 15 by Gary Flinn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybeau Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 I had a dog poo brown 1300 Dolly about 10+ years ago as my daily. Drove it to Solihull plant for a year and during that time they introduced a nice brown colour. Always hoped it was because someone had seen my Dolly in the car park 😁 It was a nice car to drive and do regret selling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Lindsay Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 Who used to have a Triumph listed in the V5 as 'Gusset Brown'? (Was it a 2000?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteH Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 Do I recall correctly, that some Dolly`s where in the dark brown, I`m sure as I can be from this distance in time the one my son had, which was stolen and trashed was much darker. "Gusset" brown reminds me of watching the girls play Netball from the windows of the boy`s gym. Sadly, any still alive will probably be great grandmother`s by now! Pete.

Colin Lindsay Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 This one may be a tad over-optimistic, selling locally to me but at £3100; might be a Sprint but the other pics show serious rust in places.: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/7139320766155787/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A6dbda887-0cb5-4d4b-ad9e-2766ebe49c26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaguely rings a bell, My younger engineers, and the deck department used to go regularly, when in the `pool. The theory? being less risk of picking up "Jail Bait"!

Colin Lindsay Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 The Stormont hotel in Belfast had a Grab-a-Granny night too, usually Tuesdays. That local Dolomite is more eaten away than it looks: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
