68spitfre Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Good morning all,I have just joined the forum as I am in the process of clearing out my garage and have unearthed all my old Dolomite/Toledo/Sprint parts.I ran a 1850 Dolomite and a Sprint in the 90's as daily drivers and have until two years ago owned ( for 29 years ) and fully restored a 1968 MK3 Spitfire so Triumphs were my game.It is now time finish clearing out my spares, the Spitfire stuff has all gone.So over the coming weeks / months many more items will be posted here.Today I have a door shell, Off Side Front ( Drivers ) which I thought was for a Dolomite, though it may be for a Toledo.The only reason I question this is because if I recollect the door latch was different between models and I cannot remember which this is.I purchased a pair of these back in the 1980's / early 90's. Sold one way back then and this one has been dry stored in my garage ever since.It is a bare shell, it has no rot whatsoever, it has never been repaired and has no filler !!The only thing I can see is a slight swelling in the skin around where the door handle fits ( see pic ) and slight surface corrosion.The door in in grey primer ( and lots of dust ) and could have originally been a dark blue. ( the door is still as bought I have not done anything to it ).Looking for £100 with buyer collection from South Dorset.Any questions do not hesitate to ask. Thank you.

68spitfire Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Morning all, Just to add that I have been informed that this door is from a Triumph 1300 FWD It confirms my memory that there were changes between door frames. Still available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteStupps Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Hi Richard, Don't know if you do Facebook but there's a very active FWD group on there, where you're likely to get some interest. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1519148295052576/ Ah I see it's already listed there.. and it got there via the Triumph Dolomite Club, which was going to be my other suggestion. Ignore me! Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68spitfire Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Good afternoon Pete, Many thanks for the suggestion. I do not personally use any Social Media (too old fashioned) but yes it did appear on Facebook after a forum member on the Triumph Dolomite Club posted a link there. Hopefully it will eventually go to a good home and get another car back on the road. All the Best Richard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68spitfire Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Afternoon all, This door is still available and I need to shift it. 50% price drop so £50 buyer collect South Dorset. Contact me via classicacorn<AT>gmail.com Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPearce Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Sorry, it's not useful to me and too far anyway, but if you need a quick sale you might want to bear in mind that, nice as it is, it's just a shell and I recently bought a pair of rust free Herald doors, complete with all internals, for £50. And I was the only bidder at that price. The market is not buoyant at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
