Triumph 1500

Automobiles

The Triumph 1500 was a small family car built by the Triumph Motor Company, a division of British Leyland, from 1970 until 1976. It began as a front-wheel-drive car that kept the mechanical layout of the Triumph 1300 but gained a restyled nose, twin headlights, a longer tail and a larger boot, and its engine was enlarged to 1,493 cc and fed by a single carburettor. In October 1973 it was renamed the 1500TC and moved to the rear-wheel-drive drivetrain of the newly introduced Triumph Dolomite, with twin carburettors, while the body and interior stayed largely the same. The 1500TC was replaced by the Dolomite 1500 and 1500HL in March 1976.
