The Triumph 20TS was a prototype sports car shown by Standard-Triumph in October 1952 at the London Motor Show. Extensive development of the 20TS led to the introduction of the Triumph TR2 in March 1953 at the Geneva Motor Show, after which the 20TS was unofficially referred to as the Triumph TR1. Only one example was ever made. It was a parts bin special: its engine was the Standard wet liner inline-four, with the bore reduced to give 1991 cc, its suspension came from the Triumph Mayflower and its chassis from the Standard 8 hp. Test driver Ken Richardson found a top speed of 80 mph, short of the 90 mph target, and helped redesign the car into the TR2. It is unknown whether the 20TS exists today.
