Nov postopek zanimiv človek, in je povabil njegov kmalu partner v Anglijo, da bi obvladali tehniko telesne zgradbe. So prišli v stik z južnoafriško oblikovalec Verster de Wit (, ki je delal na Sunbeam Alpine) , ki so jim pomagali ime svojega prvega avtomobila oblikovanje in naučil proces oblikovanja.

Ko so končno prišli na videz jim je všeč, da je čas za pripravo tega lahki športni avtomobil. Torej, brez denarja in želijo, da se vrnete v Južni Afriki so prodali prvi telesne plesen v Angliji za vstopnice vrnitve letal. V začetku leta 1958 so izdelali svoj prvi serijsko izdelan avtomobil.

Ta ultra redkih GT je bil izdelan med 1957-1962 v dveh različnih znamk, vendar enako ime. Manj kot 400 so bile narejene. Telo je bilo amde iz steklenih vlaken. Okvir delo je bilo izdelano iz aluminija cevnega okvirja prostora. Jih pokaže prefinjeno De Dion prekinitev cevi zadaj..

Moč, ki jih je 2.0 liter Triumph TR3 engine and drive train. The early years(1957-1960) the cars were produced in Slough Berkshire England. When the company failed one of the original founders move production to Colnbrook Buckinghamshire England. .V 1958 this GT was entered in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It finished 16th..

The car had good performance due to its light weight and race inspired suspension. Still the bodies were poor fitting on the early versions. The high cost of being built by hand proved costly and the sales price was three times that of the TR3. The Phase II models would offer an improved one piece body but costs were still high. V 1961 they received an improved frame and revised dashboards..

V 1961 British car magazine “Motor” tested the car. It posted 0-60 times of 12.6 sekund. Top speed was 112 MPH. They also recorded a very thrifty 27 MPG. It still had a very costly price of 16,000 pounds. Plans were to install an all aluminum 3.5 liter V8 borrowed from Buick. That engine would eventually end up in the hands of Rover and used in Range Rovers for many years.The company closed its doors in 1962 after only a handfull of cars were produced..Kaj Auto je to??

Današnji "Junk Sem lasti"

Junk iz moje preteklosti

1963 Triumph TR4.

I hate to admit it but I’m a sucker for a hard luck story. Še huje, Jaz sem bedak za lepi obraz. Da je samec celo moje življenje, v mnogih pogledih sem pripravljen stene proti zelo mislil, ljubezni ali vsaj “globoko všeč.”But there she was. You could tell by looking at her that she was abused and alone. She was about my age.Born in 1963. That would make her 47 or so today. Nice body and what lovely bumpers she has. No sagging. Nice curves and wow what a rear! There was something about her. She had a sparkle in her eye(headlight) and she needed my help. So for the first time in many years I started a new relationship.Who was she? She was a 1963 Triumph TR4. Worth all of the princely sum of $400.00 I paid for her. Solid body and frame. Just what I have been searching for. You see I have a soft spot for rough cars.Anybody with a checkbook and common sense can buy a fully restored car. It takes a real lack of any brain cells to do a project like this. And being as the Mexicans call “EL CHEAPO” I couldn’t pass up her up. Nothing gives me more pleasure than tearing off some skin on and old rusty bolt. Or the wonderful sound that your lower spine makes when lifting out an engine block or transmission. So with much happiness and fright I went into another restoration project. As usual my plans and life don’t always work out at the same time. The TR4 was sold before I even got a chance to fracture a knuckle..Thinking about that project made me ponder some past not so great projects. Triumphs for all the bad rap they get have always been very good cars for me. All TR6s I have owned have all ran great and proved to reliable with proper care. All these years I have not always had “Creampuffs” So with that in mind we start a new feature in my “On The Road with Johnny B” column called “What the Hell was I thinking” In no real order..

..1983 Renault Le-Car. This wonder bomb never made it home.On my trip home I got a flat tire,blew a hole in the heater core melting my new sneakers with scalding water.Almost lost a wheel and the radio stopped working. Thus inventing a new French word. “Le-Crap-box.

To je bil prvi povojni(WWII)model iz te družbe, potem ko je prevzel veliko večji od dohodkov pravnih oseb .. Zaradi pomanjkanja uporabnih jeklene konstrukcije je bilo več kot pepel ali leseni okvir .. Nekateri so jeklene plošče, medtem ko drugi uporabljajo aluminij .. Powered by 4 valjnih motorjev v razponu od 1766-2088cc .. Niso bili znani po zmogljivosti .. Ta avto maker poskušal nekaj uspeha, da bi kopirali veliko bolj classy Bentleys na dan, vendar njeno počasno delovanje in pomanjkanje kakovosti graditi nikoli ne bi prišel blizu .. Kaj ??
