Triumph Southern Cross

Automobiles

The Triumph Southern Cross was a small roadster that the Triumph Motor Company built from 1932 as the successor to the Super 8, offered in parallel with the Super 9. Like the Super 9 it used the newer engines built under Coventry Climax patents. These were inline four-cylinder units, either of 1,087 cc rated at 40 bhp (29 kW) at 4,000 rpm or of 1,232 cc rated at 42 bhp (31 kW) at 4,500 rpm, and both versions could be ordered on one of two wheelbases, 2,343 mm or 2,642 mm. In the following years the Gloria 10 and Gloria 12 models took over from the Southern Cross in the Triumph range. This entry rests on the German Wikipedia article for the car, which in turn cites David Culshaw and Peter Horrobin, The Complete Catalogue of British Cars 1895 to 1975.
