  BL Triumph 1300 notebooks from Leyland Motors
In this case it was the Leyland Triumph 1300 that was being given some coverage on the cover of these neat notepads, which measure 2" x 2.5".
The 1300 was "Britain's best equipped car next to the big ones!" which I assume is a reference to the larger 2000 and 2500 models that were also available.
The 1300 is not a common sight in preserved circles, largely thanks to their eagerness to corrode away (but probably no worse than any other BLMC creation of the day).

 Triumph Toledo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Triumph Toledo was a compact car introduced in August 1970 as a cheaper version of the Triumph 1300, which was at the same time replaced by the Triumph 1500.
Initially, the Toledo was only available as a two-door saloon with the 1300 engine of 58 bhp (43 kW) net, but 4-door export versions with a 1500 engine in single and twin carburettor "TC" form with 61 and 64 bhp (45 and 48 kW) net, respectively soon appeared.
In March 1975 the two-door version was dropped, before the model was finally replaced by the Dolomite 1300 and 1500 in March 1976.

 Triumph - Wikicars
From bicycles, the Triumph Cycle Company as the company was named in 1897, branched out in 1902 into making Triumph motor cycles at their works in Much Park Street.
In the early 1950s it was decided to use the Triumph name on sporting cars and the Standard name on saloons and in 1953 the Triumph TR2 was launched, the first of a series that would run through to 1981.
The Triumph name disappeared in 1984, when the Acclaim was replaced by the Rover 200, which was a rebadged version of Honda's Civic/Ballade model.

 Triumph Under Leyland
The ongoing sales of the small Triumph were healthy, and ongoing development led to the superb Dolomite Sprint, but the truth is that it was by now a 1965 design and it was falling behind newly emerging opposition from Saab and BMW at an alarming rate.
Triumph, it seemed were already beginning to lose out — and when the SD2 Dolomite replacement was shelved in favour of an Austin-Morris model as a result of the Ryder Report, the future for Triumph (or should I say, lack of it) was sealed.
The end result was Triumph died in 1984 — the date that marked the launch of the Rover 213: a car that in concept, deserved a Triumph badge.

 TRIUPH HERALD, SPITFIRE AND STAG BRITISH CARS | DIRECTORY OF MOTOR MANUFACTURERS | VEHICLE DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY | ...
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.
But many Triumphs of this era were unreliable, including the 2500 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 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.

 Triumph 1300 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Triumph 1300 was introduced at the London Motor Show in October 1965.
The 1300 was well-made and sold reasonably well in the small luxury sector, but Triumph never produced another FWD car; even more significantly, from 1970 the 1300 was re-engineered as a rear-wheel drive car and went on to form the core of Triumph's compact range as the Triumph Toledo and Triumph Dolomite.
Although the FWD 1300 was something of a disappointment, the basic design went on to provide Triumph with a popular small car until the end of Dolomite production in 1980 and as such delivered an outstanding return on their original investment.

 Triumph World - Feature: Forward Motion - Triumph 1300
These days, when almost every hatchback and saloon is driven through the front wheels, it must be hard for the younger generations of motorists to fully comprehend the sensation caused by the Mini when it was launched in 1959.
That same year of 1959 also saw Standard- Triumph introduce the Herald, but the date was about the only thing the two cars had in common.
Following approval ofthe design in 1963, work on tooling began immediately, and the Triumph 1300 was announced to the public in October 1965 –; although the new model wouldn’t appear in the dealership showrooms until January ’66.

Back in 1966 some Club Triumph members discussed about the possibility of driving from London to John O'Groats, on to Land's End and finally back to London....
So, with the help of a local Triumph dealer (who supplied a Triumph 1300) and the factory (who both supplied a 2000) the first reliability run was conceived.

 APT Valve Train for Triumph Spitfire, TR6, GT6, MG Midget 1500
The simplex (single) camshaft drive on late model 1300 and 1500cc Triumph engines can be changed over to a duplex (double) chain drive by using Kent's adjustable steel timing gear set part number VCS-07.
This is a really neat installation which also gives the ability to dial in the cam timing easily and quickly, not to mention accurately.
Triumph engines like short duration and reasonable lift, and with the cam lobe center configured correctly, as the APT cams are, substantial performance increase can be obtained over a wide power band and with good long term reliability.

By 1970, the rear-drive Triumph Toledo and front-drive 1500/ 1500TC were too much competition.
By 1960, Triumph engineers had shoehorned a 2-litre version of this six into a modified Herald Coupandeacute.
The original Vitesse (1600cc.) Convertible, badged in the U.S. as a "Sports 6," was marketed in 1963 as a "limited-edition car"; even at that, fewer than 700 were sold before the model was withdrawn from the U.S. market in 1964.

type bearings, but in some cases this is becoming more and more difficult, in the case of most triumph engines these bearings have not been made for many years.
The next grade of material is type: VP19, not as good as VP2 for racing use, but perfectly acceptable for most other applications.
The first choice then is the bearings with an Indium overlay, the next is what are commonly called Lead/Bronze or Lead/Copper, lastly the "A" or "SA" material which is what is normally used in all OEM engines, mostly because they are slightly cheaper to make, and they deal with dirty oil better.

 Triumph Herald
In 1968, facing competition both from other marques and other models in the Triumph range, the Herald received a final, major upgrading.
More power came from a single-carb version of the 1296cc Spitfire Mk.3 (and Triumph 1300) engine, and a front-end restyle came from adapting a variation of the Vitesse sheetmetal.
Improvements were made also to the drivetrain and interior - as is evidenced by the image above with the humble Herald now offering the look and feel of more stately up-market British saloons.
