Triumph Dolly 1500TC

Thought I'd post this here just in case any of you guys were in the mood to diversify. There's a 1500 Dolly for sale at the moment in Warwickshire with tax / test to next March:

You may notice that the thread was started early last year - it's still for sale but won't be much longer thanks to the scrappage scheme

The owner is being realistic and asking £750 from anyone who's willing to keep it on the road rather than insisting on the whole scrappage "value" and you can't really blame her for wanting rid after 18 months of advertising it with no takers!

They are ok as long as you change the shells evry 40ish thousond miles, its not a big job the engine can stay in place

Agreed - after all, it's only a long-stroke version of the almost bullet proof 1300. As long as you don't try to rev it like the 1300 (good for around 8000 RPM apparently!) it's a nicely torquey lump.

As for the shells, at about 15 quid a set and an easy sump-drop to fit (in the Dollies anyway) you can virtually treat them as a normal 12k service item!

If there was any way in the world I could justify another - especially while still waiting for the outcome of the "hypothetical" - you wouldn't have the chance cos it'd be here by now
