  Triumph 1500 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Triumph 1500 was a small front-wheel drive automobile produced by Standard-Triumph from 1970.
Whilst retaining the front wheel drive of the Triumph 1300, the body featured a restyled nose, a lengthened tail, twin headlights, horizontally mounted rear light clusters and a larger boot.
In October 1973 the 1500 was replaced by the 1500TC which retained the same 1493cc engine with twin SU carburettors and the rear wheel drivetrain of the Triumph Dolomite The interior and exterior styling remained largely the same.

 Triumph Dolomite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The car was originally a 1300 cm³ with front wheel drive (FWD), but Triumph were dissatisfied with the cost, performance and sales of the FWD car; accordingly, it was re-engineered in 1970 as the Triumph Toledo, a cheaper and more basic variant with conventional rear wheel drive which was made alongside the FWD version.
Styling was similar to the FWD Triumph 1500, with some updates such as the fl-painted rear panel and new wheel trims.
Triumph needed to rationalise the range, and they did this by introducing the Dolomite 1300 and 1500 in 1976.

 Triumph 1300>Dolomite Timeline
The bloodline of Triumph's popular small saloon, the Dolomite, can be traced back to the front-wheel-drive Triumph 1300 of the mid-Sixties.
The entire Triumph Dolomite range is deleted, to be replaced by the all-new Triumph Acclaim, developed in collaboration with Honda and based on the Honda Ballade.
However, the rear end of the saloon was also being remodelled at this time, to produce the 1500, so the estate was seen as an expensive distraction and was taken no further.

 Autocars Triumph 1300
The Triumph 1300 was built in Israel by Autocars in a small-scale CKD operation.
The Michelotti-deisgned, front-wheel-drive Triumph 1300/1500 was assembled in Israel by Autocars between 1967 and 1973, from original British parts.
Therefore, the 1500 power unit was adapted to the Triumph 1300 body as early as 1967.

 European Triumph Spitfire 1500 buyer's guide
On a 1500, there should be little pockets in the cover for the steering wheel and both headrests.
A Triumph Spitfire is not a quiet car by any standard, but there should be no excessive rumbling, whining or knocking.
There are about 1,500 to 2,000 Spitfires still on the road here and the number is rising steadily due to imports, mainly from the US and in smaller numbers from Italy, France, Belgium and Germany.

 APT Valve Train for Triumph Spitfire, TR6, GT6, MG Midget 1500
The simplex (single) camshaft drive on late model 1300 and 1500cc Triumph engines can be changed over to a duplex (double) chain drive by using Kent's adjustable steel timing gear set part number VCS-07.
This is a really neat installation which also gives the ability to dial in the cam timing easily and quickly, not to mention accurately.
Triumph engines like short duration and reasonable lift, and with the cam lobe center configured correctly, as the APT cams are, substantial performance increase can be obtained over a wide power band and with good long term reliability.

A further upward addition to the range was made by the reintroduction of the Dolomite name of pre-war Triumph fame.
This is indeed a sprint version, it came in 1973 with a 16-valve 127bhp 2 litre variant of the OHC engine.
