Summary

[edit]
Description

Triumph was bought out by Standard in 1944, they wanted a sports car to take on Jaguar, so in 1946, along with the Triumph 1800 Saloons, the Triumph 1800 Roadster was introduced. After the war, steel was in short supply, so they were built from aluminium, it had large separate headlamps and the radiator was well back from the front between large wings. Passenger accommodation was on a bench seat that was claimed to seat three. Additional room for two was provided at the rear in a dickey seat with its own folding windscreen: this was outside the hood that could be erected to cover the front seat. The 1948-49 Triumph 2000 Roadster was a significant update, the 1776cc Standard Flying Fourteen engine was replaced by the 2088cc Standard Vanguard engine, transmission and rear axle

Only 2500 of these cars were made.
