Triumph Model Sales - Belgium : 1970-74

The Triumph brand was one I always liked. One model I really took a fancy to was the Dolomite Sprint, sporty yet not flashy. The 2500 was a class act and of premium quality. The range was eclectic with basic, premium and sports cars. Yet they all came together nicely.

In 1970, they were still selling quite well in Belgium but with the mainstream Herald range (above) and 1300 models coming to an end without replacement, the numbers fell dramatically. 

The 2000/2500 (above) was aging too and it likewise was without a replacement. The only bright spot, for now at least, was the Spitfire sports car (right). The GT6 was retired while the TR6 and Stag were selling in numbers one would expect. 

The new Dolomite was delayed due to industrial unrest (surprise, surprise) but registrations were already suggesting it wasn't going to make up for what was lost. Triumph was sadly heading the same way as many other British brands.
