Triumph super 7 saloon 1928 Triumph was a car manufacturer founded in 1897 by Siegfried Bettmann and Moritz Schulte. They went on to manufacture bicycles in Coventry, UK. The company began successfully building motorbikes around 1910 and, over the years, numerous motorbikes were built, including the famous 500cc engine. Around 1921, after the First World War, a disagreement arose between the partners, as Schulte wanted to replace bicycle production with car production. Schulte then left the company, but Bettmann nevertheless bought the Hillman car factory. From 1923 onwards, 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. Only 17, 000 Triumphs were produced between 1927 and 1933, including this 1928 Super 7 saloon.

The car was built in early 1928 and immediately shipped to New Zealand. At the time, the car consisted of a rolling chassis fitted with an engine and steering column.
Chassis were also supplied to other coachbuilders, who built their own bodies. This was also done with this car. A New Zealand coachbuilder built a beautiful body, called MCN (Munt-Cottrell-Nellsen & Co), see photo 33. The car ran for many years in New Zealand and was restored there in the 1980s.
