The Triumph 1500 retained the front wheel drive of the Triumph 1300, with a restyled nose, a lengthened tail, twin headlights, horizontally mounted rear light clusters and a larger boot. The size of the Standard SC engine was increased to 1,493 cc with a single SU carburettor, and the car could reach 87 mph. In October 1973 the 1500 was renamed the 1500TC, with twin SU carburettors and the rear wheel drive drivetrain from the Dolomite, and was replaced by the Dolomite 1500 in March 1976. Its model years run from 1970 to 1976.
