	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 Vitesse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Triumph Vitesse was introduced in April 1962, re-using a name previously used by the pre-WWII Triumph company from 1936-1938, and was an in-line 6-cylinder performance version of the Triumph Herald small saloon.
		Triumph fitted a 1596 cc version of their traditional straight-6 in the Vitesse, equipped with twin Solex carburettors.
		A year or so after the car's launch, the Vitesse received its first facelift; the dashboard was revised with a full range of instruments instead of the large single dial from the Herald, and the engine was uprated and fitted with twin Stromberg carburettors.

	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 Vitesse (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Triumph Vitesse was introduced in April 1962 as a 6-cylinder performance version of the Triumph Herald small saloon.
		The chassis frame of the late model Herald 13/60 is identical to that of the contemporary Vitesse and is often being used to replace a rusted Vitesse chassis or to fake a Vitesse.
		Today, the Triumph Vitesse is a sought-after car by enthusiasts; parts supply is excellent, and the cars have a reputation for bullet-proof mechanics.

		At £425 the Flow-Free was by far the most expensive model in Triumphs 1935 line-up, this together with the public not being ready for such a radical move forward in car design ensured that production failed to reach 50.
		The 1935 flow-free saloon body was only available on the six cylinder chassis, all other Triumph body styles had the option of being supplied in four cylinder form (i.e., the shorter chassis).
		Now, to the delight and probable amazement of early Triumph fans and model collectors alike, a 1:43 model of this very car has been produced by Brooklin in their ever more interesting Lansdowne range.

	Triumph Vitesse Quaife ATB differential - Quaife Engineering (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Rather, the Triumph Vitesse Quaife ATB differential automatically biases the torque away from the spinning wheel across the axle, to a constantly varying degree, and never locks.
		The Triumph Vitesse Quaife ATB differential has many benefits over a standard open differential, including maximising traction and minimizing wheelspin, eliminating torque steer and snatching in front wheel drive cars compared to conventional LSD units, and a maintenance-free design which retains the standard oil lubrication.
		The Triumph Vitesse Quaife ATB differential is proven in circuit and drag racing, rallying and road use, and is produced from Corus steel billets, and is CAD designed and CNC machined, then inspected to ISO 9001 standards.

	Ride Drive Ltd UK, History of the Triumph Vitesse
		The all-new Triumph six-cylinder engine was used to drive the car, not in the 2-litre form as originally planned, but a 1600cc unit instead.
		In 1966, due to increasing competition, the Vitesse was significantly upgraded with the fitment of the 2-litre Triumph 95bhp six-cylinder engine, which it now shared with the recently launched Triumph GT6 sports coupe.
		Late in 1968 the Vitesse 2-litre Mk2 was introduced and with a further increase in horsepower, thanks to a re-styled camshaft and the use of a full-width cylinder head.

	Triumph Vitesse - GB Classic Cars
		The Triumph Vitesse was launched in May 1962 in both saloon and convertible versions.
		It was based on the successful Triumph Herald that had been introduced in 1959 and shared many of it components including the chassis and very stylish Michelotti bodywork.
		Unlike the Herald's small 4-cylinder engine, the Vitesse was fitted with a six-cylinder 1600cc unit that gave the Vitesse a level of performance that would surprise or even embarrass owners of some sports cars of the time.

		The coachwork, rear of the bonnet, looked very Triumph, and was in very good order really, the doors opened very nicely, which suggested that the framework was in fine fettle.
		It transpired that the car was indeed modified using a Gloria Vitesse as a starting point, with various Riley components being skillfully re-worked and adapted to fit the 1936 Triumph shown here.
		The Gloria Vitesse received its modifications by Chris' grandfather in the 1950s, incorporating the aforementioned Riley parts, a modified dash, plain disc wheels, and possibly a Riley engine too.
