Triumph TR1 – 20TS

Only one example of this car was ever made by Triumph. The TR1 prototype was unveiled in 1952 and was greeted with great hostility. The car was a poor handler and an overall disapointment to it's early viewers described by some as a 'death-trap.'

The car, that never went into production, was withdrawn and the designs taken back to the drawing board and 1 year later the new improved TR2 was unveiled. Whether or not the original prototype exsists today is unknown.
