	Triumph Motor Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		But many Triumphs of this era were unreliable, including the 2.5 PI with its fuel injection problems, and the poor quality of the TR7 and TR8 sports cars, which killed the marque in the United States.
		The last Triumph model was the Acclaim which was launched in 1981 in a joint venture with Japanese company Honda.
		The Triumph name disappeared in 1984, when the Acclaim was replaced by the Rover 200, which was also simply a rebadged version of Honda's Civic/Ballade model.

		The company was eventually merged with Leyland Motors Ltd and the last Standard was produced in the UK Triumphs continued when Leyland became British Leyland Motor Corporation in 1968.
		However, the Standard name lasted into the 1980s in India, where they manufactured the Triumph Herald as the Standard Herald, but with additional four-door and five-door estate models.
		In 1970, Standard in India split with British Leyland, and introduced a four-door version of the Herald called the Standard Gazel in 1971, using the same 948 cm³ engine.

	Co-Brand: Driving Today
		By 1886 Bettmann had replaced his surname with the Triumph trade name, figuring that Triumph was readily understood in a number of languages, and by the end of the decade Bettman's concern was manufacturing bicycles of its own in Coventry.
		By 1940 Triumph had been reduced to a shell of itself and was forced into receivership having built just 35,000 cars in its 17 years of manufacture.
		No one will ever call the Triumph TRs the greatest cars of all time or even the greatest sports cars of all time, but they played their part in America's love affair with the sports car, justifying the immigrant founder's dream of building cars in his adopted homeland.

	Triumph Spitfire history
		Triumph was making a name for itself with its sports cars across the Atlantic, so in 1957, the Standard Ten saloon was marketed in the U.S. as a Triumph TR10, clearly borrowing some of the newly won reputation of the Triumph marque.
		Triumphs own stylists came up with a smart new hardtop, with a much flatter roof panel than the previous bulbous offering, opening rear quarterlights and a flat rear window.
		The solution of the Triumph engineers was both effective and cheap: just the bottom leaf of the assembly remained fixed to the differential casing, but the others were free to pivot around a central axis.

	BBC - h2g2 - The Standard Motor Company
		The Standard name appeared on cars from 1903 to 1967, although some of the companies which originally built Standard cars under license in the Indian subcontinent are still producing vehicles badged as Standard.
		The oldest surviving Standard is a Roi de Belges tourer from 1907 and that is housed in the Museum of British Road Transport (an excellent museum dedicated to British marques, in the centre of Conventry and with no entry charge).
		The Standard Swallow carried an "SS" badge, and from this the SS1 sportscar was developed, then came the SS2 which used less Standard components.

		The Standard Triumph Automobile Association (STAA) was also formed at this time for owners of other Standard and Triumph cars and this provided the basis for the future structure.
		The factory continued to provide support for Club Triumph Limited until the early 1980's, when this was stopped in one of the factory economy drives of the period, which coincided with the untimely death of CT Ltd, General Secretary, Bob Train.
		It was agreed to change the name to Standard and Triumph Association and in 1991 the Limited Company was dissolved, although the association continues to be run on a voluntary basis.

	Vintage Triumph Register - VTR
		Rather forgotten in the history of Triumphs in the United States is the Triumph 10, a car better known in most markets as the Standard 10, which, in turn, was an "upmarket" version of the Standard 8.
		The Standard 8 was introduced in the latter part of 1953 as a replacement for the controversial Triumph Mayflower.
		The last of the Triumph 10s in the United States featured somewhat revised styling, in the form of front sheetmetal and trim taken from the Standard Pennant.

	TRIUMPH THUNDERBIRD SPORT
		I call it a sport standard, because I regard it as the modern equivalent of a Triumph Bonneville or BSA Lightning, which were sportier versions of standard Triumph and BSA motorcycles of the past.
		Triumph offers some accessories for the Sport, among which is an ugly fly screen, which I strongly advise against.
		In an impromptu race down a winding country lane, the Triumph might have a slight advantage, although its (presumed) ability to carry a little more speed into the corners would be largely negated by the Sportster's acceleration out of the corners.

	Triumph Mayflower, clasic British car of the 50's
		The Triumph Mayflower was unveiled to invited members of the Technical Press and the Company's Distributors on the 23 October 1949 in a specially decorated section of the main canteen at the Banner Lane factory.
		The knife-edge Triumph Mayflower stands out from all the other ten horsepower cars in the Show by reason of the exceptional vision afforded by its wide glass side windows, which run almost the full width of the body.
		The Triumph Mayflower became a rare sight on British roads after the 1960's, and in 1974 two owners in Bristol, England started the Triumph Mayflower Club in the hope of uniting those with a common interest in the car.

		The Triumph 2000/2500 series was launched in 1963 with the 2000 (MkI) which offered comfortable accommodation with a good level of trim complete with wood door cappings and, together with its useful boot capacity, represents an excellent choice for a family size classic saloon.
		But Standard is in my blood as it probably is with a few other names who are far more well-known than me. Dad worked for the company from 1921 to 1961 alongside Ken Richardson and Ivor Penrice - and I did too, but a little later, from 1966 to 1973.
		All the Standard and Triumph clubs in the UK do a fantastic job for their members - and those clubs overseas, of which there are so many, are just as supportive in perpetuating the name of one of this country's once famous manufacturers.

	SoundStage! Equipment Review - Triumph Speaker Stands (12/1997)
		These are essentially the standard Triumph speakers with upgraded tweeters, binding posts, and crossover components.
		Israel Blume on the Triumph Speaker Stands: The entire construction of the Stand is to shift resonances to a high fundamental resonance of 350hz, which is the exact match to the Triumphs.
		This comparison showed me that although the Triumph stands were competing well with these stands costing $200 more, the speakers on the Triumph stands gave less clarity and detail than when placed on the metal ones.

		I don't have the dates or other specs off the top of my head, but be assured that, aside from some stylistic choices I don't care much for, Triumph motorcycles seems to be one of the top bikes in the world.
		This is one of the reasons why it's possible to get almost every single part for your Triumph today-the factories have been closed down, but many of the jobbers are still in business.

		While the new version is not significantly different in design from the original Mini Triumph, the subtle changes that Coincident has made in developing this speaker have raised the bar for entry-level speakers in general.
		The Mini Triumph is based closely on the standard Triumph ($799 per pair) with many similar design parameters.
		As for the Mini Triumphs, I would heartily recommend these speakers to the budget-conscious audiophile who is looking to move up in electronics at some point.

		While the Triumph name and competition reputation predate WWII, Americans are most familiar with the robust roadsters and Triumph-badged Standard saloons (sedans) built after the war by the newly formed Standard Triumph Motor Company.
		Director Sir John Black combined the solid and dependable Standard with the sporty, almost hand-crafted, Triumph sportsters into his own vision of the future—much like William Morris (later Lord Nuffield) had done by combining Morris, Wolseley, Riley, and MG into the multi-marque Nuffield Organization (and GM had done in the States).
		These were the amazing swooping Triumph 1800/2000 roadsters with “dickey seats” and “razor edge” saloons, the first to use the Standard wet-liner four that was fitted to the senior Triumphs until the last TR4.
