Triumph 2. 0 Midge Pre War Special
The Triumph Midge Special was originally a so-called kit car design by the Englishman John Cowperthwaite based on a Triumph Hertald or Vitesse donor car.
The design was based on the MG J '' Midget race car of the 30s of the last century and consisted mostly of plywood boards that were coated with aluminum.
A Triumph Herald, or Vitesse could serve as a donor .
This car originally came from England and has competed in the past in hill climbing contests. The current owner has owned the car since 2012 and is completely reconstructed to its own design on the basis of an existing Triumph chassis from 1969.
It was his intention to make as pure a reconstruction of a 30-year racing car. The aluminum carriage work is therefore fully modified and with a 'boat tail' back to its own design. The steel interior is strengthened locally and also the steering tube is re-inforced.
The 6-cylinder GT6 MK2 engine, gearbox, brake system, wheel suspension and drive have been revised and are in excellent condition.
The car has threaded spoke wheels with central mounting, mounted with front 15 "rims with 60 spokes and rear 15" competition wheels with 72 spokes.
The rims feature special 15-inch Avon high speed tires.
Rear suspension is provided with additional reaction rods.
The interior features an aluminum dashboard that has the necessary tools that also are from the 30's. The steering wheel is made of a Triumph TR3 and the red leather leather seats are in excellent condition.
Headlights and rear lights are original Lucas and come from the correct time period.
When assembling the body, a lot of attention has been paid to various details, mounting materials so as screws, braces and rivets are used in the correct 30-year period.
Due to the low weight, the relatively strong engine and the well-chosen end gear, the Midge sprints to 100kmh. Driving with the Triumph is an experience for the driver and the environment. Experience the feel of GP heroes from the thirties.
The Triumph was approved by RDW(Dutch MOT) in 2013.
Motor change is in accordance with license.
