Start with what the Triumph Fury is: a Two-door convertible with 1998 cc I6, built from 1965, in the decade that gave the world the pony car and the mid-engined supercar. What it meant takes a little longer. The shape is credited to Giovanni Michelotti.

The story

The Triumph Fury is a prototype two-door drophead coupé commissioned by the Standard-Triumph Company of Coventry, England. It was the first Triumph sports car built on a unitary construction platform.

What is underneath

The engine is 1998 cc I6. On the scales it comes to NNNN -. Drive goes through a 4-speed manual. The layout matters: a front engine drives the rear wheels, the classic proportion — long bonnet, cabin set back — that most people picture when they picture a sports saloon or a grand tourer. The wheelbase is NNNN in. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.

Its place in the line

The cars a buyer would have weighed it against include the Ford Transit, the Nissan Silvia, the Ford Bronco. Nearby in the Triumph catalogue sit the Triumph SD2 and the Triumph Renown.

Owning one today

MotorJury scores cars on the United States complaint and recall record, and the Triumph Fury has none: too old, too rare, or never sold there. Its value today is a collector's question, decided by provenance and condition rather than by a class average.
