The Triumph Mayflower was announced at the October 1949 British International Motor Show, though deliveries did not commence until the middle of 1950. It was a small, upscale family car with a one and a quarter liter engine and was noted for its razor edge styling, similar to that of the Triumph Renown, imitating the style then still used by Bentley and Rolls-Royce cars. Standard's managing director Sir John Black believed this would appeal to the American market.
