Triumph Roadster 1800/2000

The Triumph Roadster 1800/2000, designed by Frank Callaby, certainly was a very special car.

First sold in 1946, it was to combine luxury and sportiness and was one of the first cars produces after World War II. A soft top  convertible. It was far from being sportive though, with only 65 bhp (68 bhp for the 2000) and a pretty high kerb weight of about 1200 kg.

Even though it was a beautiful car, just by the way it looked, only 2501 of the 1800 and 2000 of the 2000 were sold. Only 184 of these were exported.
