Though, it meant that R 1 and GNR Regent 438 were never as full, doubling up as rain shelters for large tracts of the day www.heritagerailway.ie/

Did you bring the Countryman or have you sold it yet? There was a big turnout although the numbers were down on last year. Combination of the recession and the weather I suspect. I had my 3 classic motors (below) on display with the IVVCC stand:

I would've liked to see R1 and Regent 438 out on the road, i did see them a few weeks ago in the Transport Museum in Howth, along with R389, P347 and others, but i would've liked to see thoses two buses, R1 and GNR 438, in motion. Glad you enjoyed yourself. Seems like it was a good day, not including the weather.

I had an 1850 company car which was a fine car although it let me down once in West Cork in torrential rain with a 'cracked magneto cover' or something like that. As I recall there were 1500 / 1850 / Sprint models. The Sprint being something like 1950 cc and capable of fairly high speeds. Mine was white with black trimmings [ 431 YYI ] , very smart looking. Other guys in the company had racing green or brown models. I liked the racing green model but was never turned on by the brown one. In my minds eye, mine had round headlamps but it was a long time ago ? E N

There was a limited run of 2500 built in 1979, although in fact only 2163 were actually made as sales were declining at that stage as the Dolomite was just at the end of its production life. Special Edition cars benefitted from a front scoop spoiler, black paint with silver coachlines/SE logo, special Spitfire wheels with chrome embellishers, chrome sill protectors, walnut door cappings & dash, tinted windows, deep pile grey carpet, grey velour seating and a MW/LW radio as standard! The Dolomite range had a long and varied life span having followed on from the similarly styled Triumph 1300 and then the Toledo. Dolomites were offered in 1300, 1500 and 1850 engine sizes with the sporty Sprint version being top of the range. Last Edited By: AV500 10/07/2009 10:09:21. Edited 1 time.

Certainly my recollection of it was that the gear change was like stirring Christmas pudding, whereas my Dolomite had a fairly slick gear change with rear wheel drive. I must try to dig out a photo of it. I must say I loved it but the 'gent' who took over my position when I moved on managed to wrap it round a tree.

The 1300 was front wheel drive, with the engine mounted "in-line", not transverse as in a BMC Mini. The 1300 has a removable panel in the front floor which allows access to the clutch plates for replacement...............
