Photo Gallery «Triumph 1923-1984 - committed to the classic sports car»

There have been around 10,000 car brands and designers - most of them have disappeared. One of these vanished brands is Triumph. Bicycles and motorcycles were built under this name even before cars were built. In 1923, the company began producing cars, initially small cars, later more sporty cars that even won the Monte-Carlo Rally. In 1939, the company went bankrupt and the factory was destroyed in a bombing raid. However, the company was taken over by the Standard Motor Company and made a major comeback in 1953 with the TR 2. The TR 2 to TR 8 roadsters and the Spitfire models ensured high production figures, but the saloons, including the Dolomite and the Toledo, were also popular. The last TR 7/8 was produced in 1981, followed by a Honda derivative.
