Triumph

Many powerful and dynamic sports cars have been built under the Triumph brand.
As early as 1934, a Triumph Gloria developed by Donald Healey won the Monte Carlo Rally. Standard Motors had taken over the trademark rights for the "Triumph" brand in 1944 and wanted to use the sporty connotation of the name for a sports car series. From the unconvincing TR1, a really powerful sports car emerged under the direction of Ken Richardson. With the TR2, whose engine was based on that of the standard Vanguard, Triumph offered a competitive 100 mph vehicle at a comparatively low price. The TR series quickly became successful, was widely exported and was offered until 1981.
