It was spun off as a separate company which operated independently. Back
in the pre-AR-Trademark-Rights days there didn't seem to be any confusion in
the fact that one company made cars and the other made motorcycles. Kind of
like why Wayne doesn't sue Homer for using his name.

This article details the company's history (from the motorcycle viewpoint -
I'm not so sure this jives with how the Standard folk view history).
According to this account the prewar Triumph cars were a tag-a-long to the
bicycle and motorcycle business.
