Triumph 1800 - 1946 to 48 2000 - 1949 Renown - 1949 - 52 and Mk II 1952-54 If this is 1946, it has to be a brand new 1800. It was the Standard Motor Co. flagship at that time, the contemporary Standards being warmed over prewar types, you could hardly meet Mr. Ford (whichever one) in a Flying Eight! -- Last edit: 2022-10-27 20:46:16
