The story of Triumph cars, start to finish. A prestigious respected quality car maker, that temporarily disappeared along with its factory during the war, resrurected by the Standard Motor Company post-war. A company that built up an envious reputation for British sports cars around the world as well as small and medium sized luxury saloons. A name that lasted far longer than its post-war parent Standard, cars that still prospered during the perilous British Leyland period and which are today held in esteem by classic cars owners around the world.
