Triumph History
Discussion
According to www.histomobile.com/histomob/internet/93/histo02.htm first came bicycles (1890's), then motorcycles (1902), then cars (1920's), then in 1936 the motorcycle and car company were split. Triumph went bankrupt in 1939, and were bought by Standard Motor Company in 1945. Standard-Triumph was then bought by Leyland Motors in 1960.

No. The Rootes group became part of Chrysler. Triumph "survived" semi-comatose as part of nationalised British Leyland until the early '80s. BMW now won the brand name and there are rumours based more on hope than substance that they will build a new sportscar in character with teh old Triumph classics. I.e. leak in rain, rust in real time, handle like shopping trolleys...
