Re: Triumph engine vs. SAAB

[Bill Davies <daviesw@ecid.cig.mot.com>]

Kurt,
        I'm sure it's only a typo, but the Toledo and 1500 models were fitted
with similar engines to the 1300 and 1500 Spitfires. The Dolomite 1850
and Sprint (2-Litre 16 valve) engines were based on the same design as
the SAAB, as was the TR7.
        Cheers,
                Bill.
