It may be splitting hairs, but the first post-war Triumph Roadster was the
long bonnet 1800/2000cc car with rear dickey seat. This was followed by the
ill-fated 'Bullitt' (experimental) and then 20TS - the two seater that
appeared at the 1952 London Motor Show. This was the car condemned by Ken
Richardson (the TR2 pre-cursor) that re-appeared a year later as the TR2.
