  • Le Molte Vite Della TR4, Seconda Parte: TR5, TR250 E TR6
    TRIUMPH IN ITALY www.TriumphInItaly.it Le molte vite della TR4, seconda parte: TR5, TR250 e TR6 Di Aaron Severson Con il debutto della TR4A nel 1965, la Triumph aveva finalmente una sportiva con moderne sospensioni indipendenti che si sposavano bene con il frizzante stile italiano, ma presto venne deciso che la TR aveva bisogno di più potenza, oltre che di un vestito nuovo. Il risultato furono due auto familiari nell’aspetto ma con motori completamente nuovi, seguite dopo meno di due anni da un modello dall’aspetto nuovo con caratteristiche tecniche déjà vu. In questa seconda parte della storia della TR4, tratteremo delle Triumph TR5 PI, TR250 e TR6 prodotte tra il 1968 e il 1976. Foto dell’autore. WASP: SEI NELLA TR4 Nella prima parte di questo articolo abbiamo raccontato le origini e lo sviluppo della Triumph TR4, lanciata nella primavera del 1961 per rimpiazzare la TR3. Nata come un amalgama di diversi studi di stile elaborate da Giovanni Michelotti, la TR4 era essenzialmente una nuova carrozzeria su un telaio TR3 rimaneggiato, modificato con l’introduzione di una carreggiata più larga, uno sterzo a Le molte vite della TR4, seconda parte: TR5, TR250 e TR6 1 TRIUMPH IN ITALY www.TriumphInItaly.it cremagliera e l’adozione come motorizzazione standard del 4 cilindri a valvole in testa da 2.138 cc a camicie umide (“wet-sleeve”) che era opzionale nella TR3. La linea della TR4 e la sua maggiore raffinatezza trovarono una buona accoglienza, ma con parecchi malumori per la guida faticosa e la tenuta di strada incerta sullo sconnesso.

  • Production Data 83
    Production Data 83 Production Dates & Commission Numbers When ordering parts, it is essential that you identify your car exactly, by model year and serial number. Since many part changes were made during model years, the commission number, engine number and body number provide the only positive identification. Quite often a car’s title will not show the correct model year. Before ordering parts, please record the applicable numbers from your car. Using these numbers is the best way to ensure that you order and receive the correct parts. Wherever possible, we have listed part applications by commission number (e), body number (b) or gearbox (g). For more in formation on these numbers and years, see the production data below.

  • TRIUMPH 1800-2000 Renown Saloon the Triumph 1800-2000
    TRIUMPH 1800-2000 Renown Saloon The Triumph 1800-2000 Saloon known as the “Razor Edge” due to its straight angular panels and sharp profile was built between 1946 and 1953. It was a post war car built to pre-war specifications i.e. a separate chassis, with the body built up as a traditional ash frame and styling that dated back to the late 1930’s. The sedan copied the Rolls Royce and Bentleys of the time in its styling, and was one of the first cars to be stretched to make a limousine, complete with glass partition behind the driver. Initially the vehicle was fitted with a 1776cc four-cylinder engine developing 65bhp which in 1948 was enlarged to 2088cc (still only producing 68bhp) and had a top speed of around 80mph. Late models had overdrive as an option on their 3-speed gearboxes and the Renown appeared as an upgraded 2000 Sedan in 1950. The car was not a commercial success however as despite its luxurious appointments, it was always too expensive, compared to its competition and in the British post-war ‘export or die’ atmosphere less than 10% of the total production of 15,400 were exported. TRIUMPH MAYFLOWER The Mayflower was introduced in 1949 and was Triumph’s first post war “small” car. The razor edge lines allowed excellent space utilisation enabling four adults to fit in with ease. It was one of the first cars to feature the “modern” trend of a large glass area, and the square boot handled a full compliment of luggage.

  • Logo Triumph
    La storia del logo Triumph Triumph Motor Company Fondazione 1885 Chiusura 1984 Sede principale Coventry, England Persone chiave Siegfried Bettmann, Moritz (Maurice) Schulte (Fondatori) Settore Casa automobilistica Prodotti autovetture autocarri Standard Motors Ltd, Leyland Motors Ltd, British Leyland Motor Gruppo Corporation Ltd, BL plc L'attività automobilistica della Triumph, azienda già attiva nel settore delle biciclette e delle motociclette, ebbe inizio nel 1921, quando il general manager Claude Holdbrook convinse Sir Bettmann (fondatore e proprietario dell'azienda) ad acquisire gli stabilimenti ed i locali di Clay Lane della Dawson Car Company. I primi anni Il primo modello prodotto dalla Triumph fu la 10/20 con motore di 1,4 litri, che ottenne un buon successo (anche se la produzione non era su grande scala). Questa vettura era, in realtà, disegnata dalla Lea-Francis, che pretendeva una royalties su ogni unità venduta. La produzione di grande serie iniziò nel 1927, con la Super 7. Questo modello ottenne un successo tale che, nel 1930 venne creata la divisione autonoma Triumph Motor Company. La Super 7 rimase in produzione fino al 1934. Negli anni successivi vennero stretti accordi con la Coventry Climax per la progettazione di motori (comunque assemblati dalla Triumph). Negli anni trenta la società, composta ormai da 3 divisioni, Triumph Cycle Company, Triumph Motorcycle Company e Triumph Motor Company, in difficoltà finanziaria, cedette la divisione che produceva le biciclette (1932) e motociclistica (1936), per concentrarsi sulla produzione automobilistica. Nel 1937 venne nominato capo progettazione Donald Healey, che rese autonoma la Triumph nella progettazione dell'intera vettura (motori inclusi). Il primo modello progettato da Healey fu la Dolomite del 1938, spinta da un motore 8 cilindri in linea e ispirata, narra la leggenda, all'Alfa Romeo 8C 2300.
