  • The Oily Rag the Newsletter of the Vintage Sports Car Club of Calgary
    May/June 2020 the Oily Rag The Newsletter of the Vintage Sports Car Club of Calgary THIS TOO SHALL PASS! 1 Editor’s Comments Like the rest of you, I have been stuck in my house for the last several weeks broken only by the occasional visit out to the garage when the weather is warm enough that my tools don’t freeze to the touch. Fortunately the monotony of the days was broken by the birthday of my Jaguar which turned 49 years old on April 29! According to The Jaguar Heritage Trust, the car was dispatched to New York City on June 2, 1971. It still wears Signal Red paint, chrome wire wheels, and the seats are clad in Connolly black leather. The paint has been refreshed and the headrests re-stuffed but over all it wears its years better than its owner! Despite its six month sleep, it started on all 12 cylinders after 15 seconds of cranking which allowed the fuel to reach the carbs. Once warmed, it idled smoothly and insisted on a drive down the highway to stretch its legs. The view over the hood did not disappoint and I was pleased to find that the adjustment I had made to the kick-down switch worked perfectly and a prod on the gas peddle shot the RPM from 2200 to 3500 with a satisfying push and a muted snarl as it downshifted. As I drove down the residential street towards my home, I was rewarded by a teenage boy hollering “Cool car!” as I passed.

  • 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.

  • “Drive Your Triumph Day” 2019
    TR TIMES APRIL 2019 TR KansasTIMES City Triumphs Sports Car Cub Volume 41—Number 2 April 2019 (Don’t) “Drive Your Triumph Day” 2019 By Warren Wood By now, most of us know about the annual world-wide event dubbed “Drive Your Triumph Day,” (DYTD) held every February 10 to observe the birthday of Sir John Black, born that day in 1895, and who later lead the post-war compa- ny that built the cars we love to drive today. The concept has been for folks to go for a drive in their Triumphs on the designated day, stop and take a photo of the car at a scenic or interesting location, and send the photo in to the organizer for collection and publication in The Vin- tage Triumph magazine and on the DYTD website. The event was the brainchild of Rye Livingston of the Triumph Travelers Sports Car Club of Northern California. It began modestly a few years ago and has grown in popularity ever since. Paul McBride was the first KC Triumphs Club member who participated in 2017. Then fourteen Club members joined the fun in 2018, and eighteen members this year. Three hundred twenty-nine photos of Triumphs from around the world appear on the DYTD website this year. (See https://driveyourtriumphday.shutterfly.com/.) The event’s concept works well in moderate February climates. But on a February day in Kansas City? Not so much. This year’s special day saw ice and snow on the ground in our area – conditions not conducive for a pleasant spin in the countryside.
