The Triumph 2000 was introduced in 1963 to replace the Vanguard (see Standard). The small Triumph was introduced in 1965 as a smaller sibling to the relatively luxurious Triumph 2000, and expected to replace the chassis-based Herald. Herald demand held up for a few years though, and the newer unitary body was repurposed first for a budget Herald replacement, and eventually across the range, up to the pioneering 4 valve per cylinder Sprint.
Triumph 2000 Mk 1 Saloon
New body and a new brand for the Vanguard, with twin carb engine, and independent suspension (rear trailing arms). Overdrive option and automatic options as before. Cheaper than the contemporary Rover.
