Nice car. 2 litres, rather plush interior ... called by some the Baby Bentley. |

S'il s'agit bien d'une Triumph Renown, il difficile de déterminer le modèle et l'année... En effet, il y a eu 3 modèles de construits: Renown Mk1 1949/1951 Renown Mk2 1951/1954 Renown Limousine 1951/1954 Il semble que ce soit pas une Limousine, dont le châssis était plus long. Après entre les deux autres... la photo n'est pas assez détaillée. |

"called by some the Baby Bentley." Not because of the dreary performance from the Standard Vanguard engine and 3 speed gearbox. 68 bhp and 70 mph downhill. There was also a Triumph 1800, built from 1946 to 1948, which shared an engine and transmission with the 1 1/2 litre (!) Jaguar and it is visually identical, so you cannot be certain that this is a Renown, which was only adopted as the name when the Vanguard engine/3 speed transmission was adopted in 1949. Build quantities as follows: - 1800 Saloon - 4,000 2000 Saloon - 2,000 (Vanguard engine, 4-speed transmission) Renown Mk I - 6,501 (Vanguard engine, 3-speed transmission) Renown Mk II - 2,800 Renown Limousine - 190 (one hundred and ninety) So the chances of it being a limousine are almost microscopic. |

On est bien d'accord, mais comme elle ne portaient pas le nom de Renown, je n'en ai pas parlé... On les trouve quelques fois appelées "Town & Country"... Il y eu aussi une "Triumph 2000" produite uniquement en 1949 avec le moteur Standard Vanguard. |

The point is that you cannot tell from the above picture whether the car is an 1800, a 2000, or a Renown. There is a minor difference in the shapeof the headlights, but I do not think that they show up well enough to say which car this is. |

Tout à fait. On devrait donc simplement l'identifier comme "Triumph". Sans date, ni modèle. Mais comme cette position a déjà été source de polémique sans fin, j'ai préféré ne rien dire et laisser "Renown" et 1949...  |

D'accord |
