1939 Triumph Dolomite Roadster 14/65
1939 Triumph Dolomite Roadster 14/65 finished in
Red with Beige hide interior. This extremely rare example is one of just
12 examples in existence only half of which are road going.
The
story of the Dolomite starts in 1936 when, facing bankruptcy, Triumph
launched a new range of models headed by the Dolomite, powered by a brand
new, all alloy overhead valve 1767 cc engine with crossflow cylinder heads
designed by Donald Healey. The cars featured the famous Waterfall grille
by Walter Belgrove and on the roadster models, a fold out rear ‘dicky’
seat. The first owner of this example is not known however we do know the
car has had just 4 owners from new, the second owner purchased the car in
1951/2 from Chequred Garage in Chiswick, London, he sold the car in 1964.
The car remained in the same family, passing from father to son until 2019
and it has had one owner since then. This is a particularly fine example
with matching chassis and engine numbers and it is presented in
outstanding condition throughout with excellent body and paintwork,
perfect carpets and leather and running and driving beautifully. A scarce
opportunity to acquire one of the rarest British open top sports cars ever
made.
