The Triumph Super 7 is a four-seat tourer / saloon / fabric saloon / 2-seat coupé from Triumph, built from 1927 to 1934, the vintage years, when coachbuilders still shaped most of what was sold. Under the bonnet: 832. Arthur Sykes drew it.
Where it came from
The Triumph Super 7 is a car manufactured from 1927 until 1934 by the Triumph Motor Company. It was produced as a response to the success of the Austin 7 and was Triumph's first car to be made in large numbers. In 1933 the name was changed to the Triumph Super 8.
Under the skin
Power comes from 832; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It weighs 1250 pounds, 570 kg. It shifts through a Three-speed manual. Four speed from 1932.. The wheelbase is 81 inches (2057 mm). These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
In context
Its family tree is legible: it took over from the none; its successor was the Triumph Super 9. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Alfa Romeo 6C, the Volvo Cars Volvo Cars, the Bugatti Type 41 — show what else the money bought that year. Nearby in the Triumph catalogue sit the Triumph SD2 and the Triumph Renown.
What it costs now
MotorJury scores cars on the United States complaint and recall record, and the Triumph Super 7 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.
