 Most manufacturers have done that over the years, and Standard-Triumph was no
exception. Pretty much all our beloved TRs and Spitfires and such are based
very heavily on "family car" bits and/or shared many parts with them, whether
they were Vanguards (of which there were a number of commercial versions) or
Heralds or the 2000/2500/2.5 range, etc., etc.!

It was probably dual purposed for both RWD cars and light trucks.

Wasn't that gearbox originally a truck box?
