While there is much to love about the early Spits, the MKIV and 1500s with their kam-tail design are among my favorites. With the optional hardtop included, the MKIVs may well be the perfect blend of fun-to-drive and practical or, as practical as a sports car can be. With its light weight, independent rear suspension and (reasonable0 power, the junior Triumph was, well, a triumph of size, handling, and styling and well suited to the American market.
The Swallow Doretti was the brainchild of a coach-builder named Eric Sanders and California Tubing Company boss Arthur Andersen. Following a visit by Eric Sanders to California in July of 1952 both men felt that, as was to be demonstrated by the Austin Healey 100 and Triumph TR2, there was a market for sports cars in the USA and at home (at the right price).
The Triumph Stag started as a styling experiment cut and shaped from a 1963–4 Triumph 2000 pre-production saloon, which had been styled by Michelotti, and loaned to him by Harry Webster, Director of Engineering at Triumph.
The TR7 was and possibly still is one of the most under appreciated and undervalued British sports cars, even though it was, in fact, the best selling single model of any of the LBCs.
