Triumph Mayflower - A Brief History |
|
|
|
The Triumph
Mayflower
was introduced in 1949. Its distinctive razor edge
styling was borrowed from the larger Renown saloon that
had been introduced the same year. It was powered
by an updated pre war Standard Flying Ten engine. The
Mayflower was marketed as an economy saloon and was aimed
at the family motorist who wanted a well appointed reliable
car with light controls, at an affordable price. It
went on sale £473 (including purchase tax), with
leather upholstery available for an additional £7. In
1950 a Drophead model joined the saloon, but it is not
clear how many of these were made. Total production
of the Mayflower was around 34,000 with production
ending in July 1953.
