Triumph Motor Co. Ltd.


*Info:* *Triumph Information in a Nutshell*

>From humble beginnings as a bicycle manufacturer, Triumph began building
motorcycles in 1902. In 1921 Triumph acquired the Dawson Car Company and
began building automobiles beginning with the 1.4L Triumph 10/20. In the
1930s they changed their name to the Triumph Car Company, and spun off the
motorcycle division into its own company in 1936. Donald Healey was the
Experimental Manager from 1934 until 1939, when T.W. Ward purchased the
company and placed Healey in charge as general manager. The company
produced several models including the Gloria and the Dolomite during this
time.

After WWII, the company merged with the Standard Motor Company to form
Standard-Triumph and once again started automobile construction, building
one of the most modern car assembly plants in the world in 1959 at Canley
for the new Triumph Herald. The Standard-Triumph company was eventually
bought in 1960 by Leyland Motors Ltd for the sum of £20 million. The last
Triumph model was the Acclaim which was introduced in 1981. Many iconic
British sports cars were produced by Triumph in the 1960s and 1970s,
including:

   - *TR3** (1955-1957),* *TR3A* *(1957-1962)*
   - *TR3B* *(1961-?)* with 2,138cc inline 4 engine and all synchromesh
   transmission
   - *TR4* *(1961-1965)* with 2,138cc inline 4 engine, roll-up windows,
   full synchromesh, rack & pinion steering and optional hardtop with integral
   rollbar.
   - *TR4A* *(1965-1968)* an evolution of the TR4, with updated chassis and
   independant rear suspension (IRS)
   - *TR5* *(1967-1968)* similar to the Michelotti TR4, but featuring a
   2.5L straight 6 fuel injected (PI) engine developing ~150bhp that was
   carried forward into the TR6. Standard equipment included front disc
   brakes, independent rear suspension, rack and pinion steering and a four
   speed gearbox.
   - *TR250* *(1967-1968)* identical to the TR5, except fitted with twin
   Zenith-Stromberg carburettors, delivering 111 bhp (81 kW).
   - *TR6* *(1969-1976)*, the iconic TR sports car, with a 2498cc inline
   six-cylinder engine, carburetted for the US and featuring Lucas mechanical
   fuel injection for the home market. Featuring a four-speed manual
   transmission, optional overdrive, independent rear suspension, rack and
   pinion steering, fifteen inch (381 mm) wheels and tires, pile carpet on
   floors and trunk/boot, bucket seats, disc brakes front, drum brakes in the
   rear. Frame construction.
   - *Spitfire* *(1962-1981)*, a classic and popular two-seater sports car
   designed by Michelotti that went through 5 revisions during its long run as
   Triumph's best selling sports car.
   - *TR7* *(1975-1981)* and *TR8* *(1978-1981)* aka the "wedge", with a
   1998cc inline 4 and 3528cc V8 respectively, the last cars produced by
   Triumph.
