Triumph is perhaps more famous for its fine motorcycles than cars. The Triumph Motor Company built fine cars until the war. Then the premises in Coventry were destroyed. The company was acquired by the Standard Motor Company, but Triumph continued to be produced as its own brand. In 1960 Standard was acquired by Leyland Motors. The car brand Triumph then joined British Leyland from 1968.
