Herald/Vitesse Range
 

Triumph Herald Saloon  1959 - '64

Designed by Michelotti. Cheap but endearing family car with separate chassis and bolt on parts.
This allowed Triumph to source out its body sections to many smaller body building manufacturers... ingenious!
All round independent suspension....  plus rack & pinion steering gave an incredible 25 ft turning circle!
The Herald gave Triumph a whole new image for the 60's

948cc. 35-40 mpg  70 mph possible in a favourable wind.
Production 76,860
However, Heralds were being manufactured under the Standard name in India up until the 1980's
 

Triumph 13/60  1967 -1971

Triumph Vitesse  1962 -1968

1296cc. 61bhp 75mph.
Revised Herald with a Vitesse style front.
A spendid little car.
Production  82,650
Available in 1600cc form from 1962-66
and 95bhp 2 litre form from 1966-68.
A pint sized straight six strapped to a reinforced chassis.
Very tricky to handle - especially the 2 litre!
 

Triumph Herald Convertible  1960-'64  (light shading)

A very nice looking 2+2-seater convertible with twin SU's capable of 75mph.
Corrosion problems have seen off the majority, so good ones are rare and not cheap to buy these days.
Production  8262
 

Triumph Herald Coupe  1959 - '64

Cute little motors also featuring the twin SU's giving you 45 bhp and 75 mph.
Coverted cars these days as again rust has decimated its ranks.
Production  15,153
 

Triumph Herald Estate  1961 - '67

A tidy little estate that was deceptively roomy  and could give you 40 mpg on a good day.
 

Triumph Vitesse Convertible  mk1  1966-1968

A 95bhp 2 litre engine from the 2000 will give you 95mph.
Alas its rear swing axle simply can't cope with all that power... watch out for those hedges.
All the same, it's a nice car to tootle down country lanes in when the sun's out!
Production  7328

1300/1500/2000 Range
 

Triumph 2000  Mk1  '63-'69  + PI

Triumph's classy Michelotii styled alternative to the Rover P6 in the executive saloon market.
1998cc. 6 cylinder twin carburettor engine giving 90+ mph.
Production  120,596
 The PI was Triumph's 'hot rod'.
Same engine as the TR5 so same problems with that fuel injection system. Good for 105mph.
Production  8658
 

Triumph 2000  Mk2   '69-'75 

The midlife facelift for the 2000... and a good one.
Longer and lower bonnet, bigger boot and full width grille incorporating its quad headlamps.
A great looking British saloon car! Solid and dependable.
Production  99,172
 

Triumph  2.5 PI/2500S  Mk2   '69-'75 

Rostyle wheels were the only outward sign that this was a real 'goer'.
2498cc. Straight Six. The 2500S had a carburettor fed engine with 106bhp.
Production  43,353
 

Triumph  2.5 PI/2500S Estate  Mk2   '69-'75 

A very elegant and well crafted estate, you can't see the join.
Rare then... and even rarer today!
 
Why not advertise on this page!
 

Triumph 1500 1970-1973 

Based on the earlier front wheel drive 1300 of 1965 which was in essence a scaled down 2000.
 Now with a single carb 61bhp power unit of 1493cc.
Over 85 mph possible but fuel economy suffers!
Production 66,353
 

Toledo/Dolomite  1970-1976 (dark)

Now with rear wheel drive. The Toledo had the smaller 1.3 engine and the Dolomite the 1.5.
A well thought out machine without being too inspiring.
Production 119,182
 

Triumph Dolomite Sprint (light)

   

Triumph Dolomite Sprint (dark)

The original 'Q' cars with a superb 2 litre OHC engine.  Well sorted and very fast machines for their time.
Could have been a BMW beater!
 
'You can't treat a car like a patient ....
a car needs love!'
                                       Gehard Kacher
 
STAG
 

Triumph Stag  mk1 '70-'73  (light shading)

British Leyland had a world beater in the Stag, alas poor execution and a terrible reliability problem with its new and untried V8 engine made its untimely demise quite tragic.... how could they have got it so wrong when the rest of the car was on the money.
Beautifully designed by Michelotti, it should have sold in the millions.
2998cc V8  145bhp. Open top luxury four-seater that was good for 116mph.  We won't mention the 20mpg!
Production 25,939
 

Triumph Stag  mk2  '73-'77 (dark shading)

Todays specialists have the Stags problems ironed out.
Uprated radiator, hardened cranks and a regular 3000 mile oil change.
A popular exhibit at Classic Car shows with a strong following.  A super buy if you get a sorted one.

SPITFIRE/GT6
 

Triumph Spitfire mks I & II    1962 - 1967

(available with hood up or down)

It's 1962 and Triumph unveils a sporty Herald with tracksuit and trainers.
 Herald's forward tilting bonnet gives excellent access
so no bleeding knuckles when working on the 1147cc. twin carb engine.
Mk 1 '62-'65  63bhp.  Top speed 90mph.   Production  45,753
MkII '65-'67  67bhp.  Top speed now 95mph.   Production  37,409
Could frighten the pants off an MG Midget if required!
 

Triumph Spitfire mk III  1967 - 1970

(available with hood up or down)

Introduced in 1967 with a major facelift as the grille disappears behind the raised bumpers.
75bhp squeezed out of a now 1296cc. engine, so top speed up to 95!
Plus... wait for it, a wood instrument panel.
The Heralds 25ft turning circle came as standard.
Production  65,320
 
 

Triumph Spitfire mk IV   1970 - 1974 (hood down)

Revised styling for the 70's with a slightly sleeker front end and a 'chopped off' tail.
A front air dam makes an appearance too, to make sure the whole thing stays rooted to the ground at speed...
not that that was an issue as the mkIV was slower than the III.
However it was still a car with a great deal of charm and today has a loyal and strong following.
Super as a first time classic car!
Production   70,021
 

Triumph Spitfire mk IV in White  1970 - 1974 (hood down)

 
Triumph Spitfire mk IV  (hood up)
 
All Triumph's are available in both light or dark shades.

 
  
Triumph GT6 mkI '66-'68
These were in essence a fastback Spitfire with a rear hatch and the Vitesse 2 litre straight six engine with its twin Strombergs. The longer engine needed a longer bonnet plus a 'power bulge' that looked really cool.
95 bhp... 106 mph... 20mpg... all good stuff; alas the rear suspension was nicked straight from the little Herald saloon and this caused awful handling problems in any corner taken at speed... same as the Vitesse!
Production  15,818
 
  
Triumph GT6 mkII  1968-'70
I always considered the GT6 as a poor man's E Type. (sorry if you had one, I was only a young lad at the time)
 It became a very potent little machine once those back end problems had been tamed with new suspension.
New front end and a neat fastback style.  110mph(ish) and improved economy with 25mpg.
Production 12,066
 
  

Triumph GT6 mk III   1970-'73

Last of the line with another new front but now with a notch back rear end as per the Spitfire IV.
112mph plus 28mpg. A nice little classic car to own these days if you get a good one!
Production mkIII  13,042
 
  The 'TR' Range
 

       Triumph TR2 (Dark shading)

 

Triumph TR2  1953-1955  ( Light shading )

Built to challenge MG in the all important post war American market.
Alas not as pretty as the MGA but had a strong 2 litre Standard Vanguard engine fitted with twin carbs.
1991cc. 90 bhp. It could sprint up to100mph, 108 if fitted with overdrive.
The Americans lapped it up and it soon became the companies top dollar earner!
Production  8,628

 

Triumph TR3   1955 - 1957  (with wire or steel wheels )

Improved TR2 with front disc brakes and an egg-crate grille.
100bhp now available. Over 90% exported to the US so rare in the UK!
Production 13,377
 

Triumph TR3A   1957 - 1961  (with wire or steel wheels )

Last of the cut-away door TR's... but still big changes for '57!
A full width grille that helped to make the car look lower and sleeker... and now with exterior door handles!
2138cc. Power up to 100bhp.
Loved even more by the American buyers.
Production  58,236
 

Triumph TR3A with steel wheels & aero-screen

Very rare to see these fitted, but there are some around. Never seen one myself!

Triumph TR4  1961 -1965

Back to the drawing board... a complete redesign by Michelotti; and what a masterpiece he came up with...
although under the skin it was the same old TR3 mechanics, though it did have an all syncro gearbox!
Possibly the best looking small sportcar that has ever been produced.
Another American love affair!
Production   40,253
 

Triumph TR4A 1964 -1967  (white)

Built to address the TR4's problem of poor road-holding and a rough ride.
by fitting a new independent rear suspension system.
A bit of detail tinkering here and there, but nothing major.
Still the same old  2138cc TR3A engine. 110 mph.
Production  28,465
 

Triumph TR4A  (Dark shading)

 

Triumph TR5  1967 -1968  (light)

1967, and it's all getting a bit serious now! 
Six cylinders  2498cc. 150 bhp!!  120mph.
Lucas fuel injection system fitted before Lucas understood how it all functioned properly.
Didn't dare risk it on the Americans; twin Strombergs fitted... but only 105bhp.
A short lived model and a very rare find.
Production  2947 
 
All TR's available in light or dark shading
 

Triumph TR6 1968 -1976  at racetrack (available with wire wheels )

Crisper and more modern body design both front and back from Karmann of Germany,
though to many it looked a tad bland compared to the previous models.
Still the same old troublesome fuel injection system fitted to the Brit cars.
American spec cars (and most were) still fitted with the twin carbs.
However, it was an awesome sports-car and the Transatlantic love affair went from strength to strength.
Today many have found their way back across the pond and a well sorted example will now cost big bucks.
Total Production  91,850
US Spec models  77,938
 

Triumph TR6 at Tower Bridge ( available with wire wheels )

Truly the 'hairy knuckle' ride machine par excellence!
 
 

Triumph TR7 Roadster

Following on from the much loved TR6 was always going to be a hard act to follow no matter what was designed.
What emerged was a controversial wedge-shaped body styled by Harris Mann.
Alas the TR7 was hampered with an 8-valve Dolomite engine instead of the far better 16-valve version.
This together with a build quality that left a lot to be desired brought the TR dynasty to a sad end
and with it ultimately Triumph itself.
 

Triumph TR7 Coupe  1975 - 1981

It turned out to be a good rally car eventually, but with a V8 - which it should have always had.
But the American love affair was now well and truly over.
However in it's seven years of production numbers reach a massive 100,000
....and that really can't be classed as bad for a sportscar!
Production  111,648
