Envisioned as a luxury sports car, the
Triumph Stag was designed to be a gentleman's sports tourer. All Stags were four-seater convertible coupés; for structural rigidity, the Stag required a B-pillar "roll bar" hoop connected to the windscreen frame by a T-bar. A removable hardtop was a popular factory option for the early Stags, and was later supplied as a standard fitment. The car started as a styling experiment literally cut andIt had a two door drop head (convertible), retained the suspension and drive line.
The
Triumph Dolomite was a popular small to medium sized four door saloon car. The Triumph Dolomite was released as the successor to the upmarket FWD cars and the 6 cylinder Triumph Vitesse. Initially, the only version available used the new slant-four 1854 cm³ engine, providing 95 bhp and offering sprightly performance. The car was aimed at the compact performance/luxury sector, and was offered with optional automatic transmission. Standard equipment included twin headlamps, a clock, luxury seats and carpets, a heated rear window, cigar lighter, and more with some updates such as a black-painted rear panel and new wheel trims. Performance was excellent; the car was capable of 100 mph, with 60 mph coming up in just over 11 seconds. An overdrive gearbox was soon made optional, offering relaxed motorway cruising.
The
Triumph Spitfire was originally devised to compete in the small sports car market. For this car wind-up windows were provided (in contrast to the
Sprite /
Midget, which still featured sidescreens at that time), as well as a single-piece front end which tilted forwards to offer unrivalled access to the mechanics. The engine was a 4-cylinder of 1147 cc, mildly tuned for the Spitfire with twin SU carburettors. Also from the Herald came the rack and pinion steering and coil-and-wishbone front suspension up front, and at the rear a single transverse-leaf swing-axle arrangement. This ended up being the most controversial part of the car: it was known to "tuck in" and cause violent oversteer if pushed too hard. In the sportier Spitfire (and later the 6-cylinder
Triumph GT6 and
Triumph Vitesse) it led to severe criticism. The body was bolted to a much-modified Herald chassis, the outer rails and the rear outriggers having been removed; little of the original Herald chassis design was left, and the Spitfire used structural outer sills to stiffen its body tub. The Spitfire was an inexpensive small sports car and as such had very basic trim, including rubber mats and a large plastic steering wheel. An overdrive option was added to the four speed gearbox to give more relaxed cruising. Wire wheels and a hard top were also made available.
