The Appeal
The Triumph Dolomite 1850HL is a well-regarded British saloon, and the Julien Vernaeve Ex-Works rally Dolomites are among the most celebrated competition examples of the marque. With original works cars commanding serious money, this faithful recreation on a genuine 1850HL base offers an appealing route into the heritage and visual drama of those iconic rally machines at a fraction of the cost.
This car's provenance is notable: it remained with the same family from new until 2023. Beneath the skin, it has received significant mechanical attention, with details listed below. The exterior has been professionally finished in triple paint to recreate the white, red and blue Vernaeve livery, with decals applied by a specialist. The vendor states the car looks and drives very well, and it presents an opportunity to enjoy a piece of Triumph rally history on the road.
