Bill, 
yes it was a sedan. Came in both two door and four door form 
if memory serves me right. It replaced the front wheel drive 
1300, 1300TC and 1500 series. Toledo was a rear wheel drive 
evolvment out of the 1300 body series. 

Isn't that typical for You people on the other side of the 
Atlantic... Never heard of the Toledo... I thought knowing 
_everything_ possible about the marque one decides to love 
was only the first step in the process of becoming a LBC 
gearhead... ;-) 
[No, don't flame me! I'm just kidding!] 

Triumph made lots of cars You never got to see on Your side 
of the pond... And to tell the truth they paid for and made 
possible most of the development of the sports cars You all 
love so much. Not only You by the way. We all love them. 
Regarding the other way around: As far as I can remember off 
my head the only Triumph model that was only sold in America 
was the TR8. 

Regards
