Keith Adams — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 17:44:11 +0000

Even before it fell out of production in 1977, the Triumph Stag was regarded to be a classic car – it had everything: looks, power, a soundtrack to die for, and a certain sector of the market all to itself… Yet it died after a short production run, and drove many of its first owners [...]

Triumph: the winner that never was THE Triumph car company, like Rover, was a genuine British success story of the 1960s. From the low-point of being declared bankrupt in 1939 – and being picked up by Standard in 1945, the Triumph name had forged ahead. So much so, that from 1959 onwards all new Standards [...]

The Michelotti Bullet & Lynx Entering the 1970s, Triumph decided on a two-pronged attack on the sports car market: Bullet was the TR6 replacement incorporating, like the Stag, a roll-over bar and T-bar. Lynx was the closed coupé, to replace the GT6. Like all Triumphs since the Herald in 1959 (and excluding the Karmann-designed TR6), [...]

Rather bemused, Harry Webster accepted, and three [...]
