1300 FWD Vs Dolomite 1500

To those of us of a certain age, Ajax is a cleaning product. For Triumph, Project Ajax was a clean sheet of paper and it delivered a revolutionary new car for the firm which underwent many changes over its 15 years in production. Bruce Jones is your guide to perhaps the most complicated evolution of any Triumph offering.

Early Stag Vs Late Stag

The Stag did not change drastically during its seven-year production run, but there are options to consider when comparing early and late cars. Peter Robinson is your guide with an unavoidably cavalier attitude to the concept of first vs last.

Spitfire 4 & Spitfire 1500

The first Spitfire was somewhat confusingly called the Spitfire 4, though most people refer to it today as the MkI. The 1500 was the last of the line and would logically have been called the MkV, but Triumph were keen to draw attention to its bigger 1493cc engine. That – and the other changes wrought along the way from first to last – make the two cars very different in character, as Iain Ayre explains.

TR2 vs TR6

For two sports cars with very different personalities, the TR2 and TR6 have a surprising amount in common under the skin. Wayne Scott compares first and last of the separate chassis TRs.

TriumphTune TR7

A 2-litre, 8-valve TR7 has long been considered the poor relation in the TR line, but how many people have actually driven a good one? And not only a good one, but how many have driven one that has been uprated similarly to many of the earlier TRs? This is the story of one such car, a car that has been in the ownership of Triumph World contributor John Clancy since the early 1980s and kick-started an enduring passion.

The Baby Hoyal

Brian Bromwich has a knack for finding particularly rare and unusual pre-war Triumphs in an advanced state of decrepitude, then restoring them to glory. But while he spent 30 years searching for his glamorous 1939 Dolomite Roadster, this 1928 Hoyal-bodied Triumph Super Seven rather landed in his lap.
