Designed as the successor for the upmarket variants of the front-wheel drive designs, and
also to replace a sporting relative of the Herald, the 6-cylinder Triumph Vitesse, the
Triumph Dolomite was unveiled at the London Motor Show in October 1971. However, due to a
number of strikes and other industrial upsets, the car was not reported to be in full
production until October 1972.The name "Dolomite" had been used by Triumph for a range
of models prior to the Second World War and this name was revived for the new car. The
Dolomite used the longer bodyshell of the front wheel drive Triumph 1500, but with the
majority of the running gear carried over from the rear-wheel drive Triumph Toledo.

Although the Dolomite proved to be refined and rapid, competitors such as the BMW 2002 had
a performance advantage which was costing Triumph dearly, both in terms of sales and
prestige. To remedy this, Triumph unveiled the Dolomite Sprint in June 1973, although the
launch had been delayed by a year; it had been due to go on sale in 1972.

The Dolomite Sprint was campaigned in the British Touring Car Championship from 1974 to
1978. It met with some success, with Andy Rouse winning the Drivers' Championship in 1975,
and also lifting the manufacturer's title in 1974 with team mate Tony Dron.

The Sprint driven by Andy Rouse and Tony Dron managed fifth overall in the Spa 24 hours
race in July 1974. In September Dron managed 3rd place overall in a Sprint competing
in the RAC Tourist Trophy race of that year. In 1975 Andy Rouse won the British Touring
Car Championship outright by taking the driver's title in a Sprint. In 1976 Broadspeed only
ran one Dolomite Sprint in British Saloon Car Championship, with Rouse finishing second in
the two litre class. 1977 saw the departure of Rouse and the return of Tony Dron as driver
of the Broadspeed prepared Dolomite Sprint. Dron managed to win no less than seven of the
twelve races outright against some stiff competition, and narrowly missed out on winning
the championship outright because of tyre failure on the final race when leading his class
by over a minute. In 1978 Broadspeed entered a sole Dolomite Sprint (driven by Tony Dron)
where it won only one race outright, although the Sprint still won class B in the last
year a factory entered Sprint would compete in the British Saloon Car Championship.
