Triumph super 7 saloon 1928 Triumph was a car manufacturer founded in 1897 by Siegfried Bettmann and Moritz Schulte. At the time, they were manufacturing bicycles in Coventry, UK. Around 1910, the company began successfully building motorbikes. Over the years, many motorbikes were built, including the famous 500cc. Around 1921, after the First World War, disagreements arose between the partners, as Schulte wanted to replace bike production with car production. Schulte subsequently left the company, but Bettmann nevertheless bought the Hillman car factory. From 1923, a saloon car was built under the Triumph Motor Company name. The Triumph Super 7 was a car produced by the Triumph Motor Company from 1927 to 1934. It was produced in response to the success of the Austin 7 and was Triumph's first mass-produced car. In 1933 the name was changed to Triumph Super 8.
