Triumph does not build many cars like the Triumph Super 9: a 4-seat tourer / saloon with 1018 , built from 1931 to 1933 when streamlining and independent suspension were arriving together.
How it came about
The Triumph Super 9 was a British motorcar model, first introduced by the Triumph Motor Company in 1931 at a price of £185. It continued through into 1933. It had an RAC rating of 8.9 hp.
The Super 9's were the first Triumphs to use 12-volt electrics (early Southern Cross's still used 6-volt for a short period) and the first to be fitted with a Coventry Climax engine, which was made under licence by Triumph. Two 6-volt batteries were housed under the rear passenger floor, while the prototype had a single 12-volt battery on the bulk head. Many of the chassis and transmission components were left overs from the Super 7's and 8's.
The hardware
Under the skin sits 1018 . The gearbox is a 4-speed manual. The wheelbase is 87 inches (2210 mm). These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Family and rivals
Where it sits in Triumph's history is not in doubt: the Triumph Super 7 came before it. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Chevrolet Suburban, the Bugatti Type 57, the Horch 670. Its Triumph stablemates include the Triumph SD2 and the Triumph Renown.
The money
There is no federal ownership record for the Triumph Super 9 — it predates the complaint database or was never sold in the United States — so MotorJury publishes no running-cost figure for it. For a car of this age the price is set by the collector market and the condition of the individual example, not by a formula.
