The Triumph Mayflower has become quite a rare car it is believed there are only around a hundred left of the thirty five thousand that were made between 1949-53. It is a quirky little car and was Triumphs attempt to create a small car with an upmarket image. The body was designed by the chief body designer of Mulliners of Birmingham and was imitating the style of Bentleys and Rolls Royces of the same era.

This car is sold as a running restoration project. There have been some works carried out on the car and presents an ideal project for someone to return it to showroom condition. Sold with two original instruction books and two sets of keys.
