Triumph Vitesse (1937-1938)

Automobiles

The prewar Triumph Vitesse was built by the Triumph Motor Company in 1937 and 1938 as two models, the 14/60 and the 2-Litre, both offered only as a four-door saloon, while the coachbuilder Avon made a two-door four-seat Foursome Coupe. The 14/60 had an inline four-cylinder engine of 1,767 cc with two SU carburettors, rated at 62 bhp (46 kW) at 4,500 rpm, and a synchronised four-speed gearbox. The 2-Litre had an inline six-cylinder engine of 1,991 cc, also with two SU carburettors, rated at 72 bhp (53 kW) at 4,500 rpm, on a chassis about 100 mm longer. About 250 kg lighter than the Dolomite, it was the fastest car in the Triumph range. Saloon prices fell during 1938 from 318 to 298 pounds for the 14/60 and from 348 to 338 pounds for the 2-Litre. Triumph also tried a streamlined Flow Free body, of which about seven were built. The name returned in 1962 for a new series.
