1972–1976 Triumph Dolomite 1850 Specs & Performance

The Triumph Dolomite 1850 combines the neat proportions of a traditional four-door British saloon with a more purposeful character than its understated styling first suggests. Its compact footprint and five-seat cabin make it suited to everyday family use, while the front-mounted engine and rear-wheel-drive layout give it the conventional mechanical balance associated with many British cars of its period. Rather than relying on dramatic styling, the Dolomite’s appeal comes from its straightforward design and a blend of practicality and engaging road manners.

Produced from 1972–1976, the 1850 is powered by a 1.9-litre naturally aspirated inline-four slant-four engine with 91 hp at 5,200 rpm and 105 lb-ft of torque at 3,500 rpm. A four-speed manual transmission is listed, with a three-speed automatic also available, driving the rear wheels. It reaches 60 mph in 11.1 seconds and offers 13.5 cubic feet of luggage space, balancing period-appropriate performance with useful saloon practicality.
