Triumph Dolomite 8

The first use of the Classic Triumph Dolomite 8 Cars name was in 1934, when it was used for a 8 cylinder sports car which resembled the Alfa Romeo 8C. However this car did not make production, only 3 being made. The engine was of 1990 cc capacity with twin overhead camshafts and fitted with a Roots type supercharger. The engine output was 120 bhp (89 kW) at 5500 rpm giving the car a top speed of over 110 mph (175 km/h). Lockheed hydraulic brakes with large 16 inch (400 mm) drums were fitted. The pressed steel chassis was conventional with a beam front axle and half elliptic springs all round.

One of the cars was entered in the 1935 Monte Carlo Rally driven by Donald Healey but was withdrawn after being written off in a collision with a railway train on a level crossing in Denmark.

Largely because of the financial troubles of the company the car never went into production. Some spare engines and chassis were later assembled into complete cars by a London company called High Speed Motors (HSM).

Unlike many other manufacturers who used numerical model naming systems, Rover never settled on a permanent standard for the majority of their cars. However, for the following designations are an approximate guide:

* 820 – 4-cylinder 8-valve carburetted models (Rover O8)
* 820e – 4-cylinder 16-valve single point injected models (Rover M16e)
* 820i – 4-cylinder 16-valve multi point injected models (Rover M16i) Came in naturally aspirated form and turbocharged (Turbocharged model fitted to later Vitesse)
* 825i – pre-1988 6-cylinder models (Honda)
* 827i – post-1988 6-cylinder and US models (Honda C27)
* Sterling – for most markets (except North America); luxury flagship model
* Vitesse – for most markets; sports flagship model

Following the 1992 R17 facelift, the convention was simplified to:

* 820i/Si/SLi/sterling – 4-cylinder 16-valve multi point injected models (Rover T16) Came in naturally aspirated form and turbocharged (Turbocharged model fitted to Vitesse)
* 825D/SD – 4-cylinder diesel models (VM Motori 425)
* 825i/Si/SLi/sterling – 6-cylinder models (Rover KV6)
* 827i/Si/SLi/sterling – 6-cylinder models (Honda C27a)
* Sterling – for most markets (except North America); luxury flagship model
* Vitesse – for most markets; sports flagship model

In 1994 the vitesse model line up was increased with the introduction of the Vitesse sport which had 200ps (standard vitesse only had 180ps)and a torsen differential. The sport models also included 17 inch alloy wheels and lowered and more uprated suspension as well as fully colour keyed bumpers. A lux pack could also be ordered with the car (factory fitted only) which gave full leather seats and climate control with air con and a powered drivers seat.

In 1996, the engine size designations were dropped, and the model badges simply read "800" except for the Sterling and Vitesse models. The honda engines were dropped for the newly developed KV6 which gave a much smoother power delivery. coupe models were now available with the 200ps vitesse sport engine as well as a normal 136ps t series as fitted to the 820 models
