The Triumph Renown is a 4 door saloon, limousine. from Triumph, built from 1946 to 1954, in a decade split by war, when civilian production stopped and restarted. Under the bonnet: 1766 .
Where it came from
The Triumph Renown is the name given to the large saloon car made by the Triumph Motor Company from 1949 to 1954, but it is actually part of a three-car series that includes the 1800, 2000, and Renown models. Together with the Triumph Roadster, they were the first vehicles to carry the Triumph badge following the company's takeover by the Standard Motor Company.
Under the skin
Power comes from 1766 . It weighs 1207 kg. It shifts through a 3-speed manual. The wheelbase is 108 in 1800, 2000 and Renown / 111 in TDC and limousine. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
In context
Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Citroën 2CV, the Porsche 356, the Chevrolet Bel Air — show what else the money bought that year. Nearby in the Triumph catalogue sit the Triumph SD2 and the Triumph Roadster.
What it costs now
MotorJury scores cars on the United States complaint and recall record, and the Triumph Renown 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.
