We have now been producing new bodyshells and panelwork for British classic cars for thirty years. When the last MGBs and MG Midgets rolled off the production lines at Abingdon and, more recently, the Mini at Longbridge, Heritage took over the original press dies and jigs in order that the manufacture of genuine replacement panels and bodyshells could continue. We currently manufacture thirty two derivatives and to date we have supplied over 6000 bodyshells to support restoration projects by enthusiastic owners of these iconic cars. British Motor Heritage is now an independent company staffed by professionals with a genuine passion for classic vehicles who are always ready to help out the private owner by sharing their knowledge and expertise. The Heritage factory situated in rural Oxfordshire houses purpose built production facilities alongside storage, distribution and administration. Organised parties of enthusiasts and clubs are always welcome by appointment to see their favourite marque in production. BMH has expanded by the acquisition of Powerstop Brakes Ltd, the classic sector distributor of the acclaimed EBC brakes, and Tex Automotive Ltd which manufactures a comprehensive range of mirrors and wipers for British classic cars. More recently, BMH has established the Motoring Classics website to broaden the offering of the very best quality motoring accessories and clothing, principally made in the UK, together with our own Tex and braking products. Heritage Original Equipment parts and panel assemblies are available from your Heritage Approved Specialist (see p5). Other items in this brochure can be found on www.motoringclassics.co.uk or phone 01993 707200. Tex Automotive, Powerstop Brakes and the Motoring Classics website are all part of the British Motor Heritage group. 4 British Motor Heritage Approved Specialists British Motor Heritage Approved Specialists are the acknowledged experts and leading suppliers of Classic MG, Mini, Morris and Triumph parts.

  • History of the Triumph Motor Company
    THE HISTORY OF TRIUMPH The name Triumph conjures up visions of the quintessential British sports car. Names like Southern Cross, Spitfire, and the ubiquitous TR-series are the very definition of the classic open- top roadster. Join us in celebrating the Triumph automobile as the ultimate expression of this notably British art form. Triumph, as a company, was actually formed in 1887 by German, Siegfried Bettmann who had moved to Coventry, England, from his native country just four years earlier (at age 23). With the help of capital from the White Sewing Machine Company, he began by selling bicycles and within two years he was marketing his own product. Needing a simple and easily-recognizable name for the company, he chose the Triumph Cycle Company. The company produced its first motorcycle in 1902 and set up an affiliate company in Germany the year following to produce motorcycles there. Motorcycle production ran at a rate of 20 per week, a number that rose to 60 by 1909. By 1913, Bettmann had become so involved in the business and cultural life of Coventry, he became the Mayor of the City for one year; quite odd considering his German ancestry and the approaching World War. Despite the interruption of everyday life caused by war, Bettmann succeeded in convincing Colonel Claude Holbrook of the British War Office to select Triumphs as the “motorcycle of choice” for the British military. By 1918 Triumph was Britain’s top motorcycle manufacturer. After the war, Colonel Holbrook joined the Triumph Company as General Manager, with the goal of getting the company to produce a motor car.
