Triumph used the name twice. Before the war it went on a line of sporting saloons with a waterfall grille. From 1972 it was a compact rear-wheel-drive sports saloon, and the Dolomite Sprint of 1973 is the one that counts: its 16-valve engine is generally credited as the first in a mass-produced car.
