Classic Triumph Mayflower.
In the early 50s Triumph tested the market with two unusually styled saloons. The larger (razor edge) Renown was perhaps more successful than its little brother. The Mayflower looked like it was built from folded cardboard. Certainly an unusual shape and great to see this one on display at Tatton. Engine size was just 1247cc so performance was on the leisurely side.
Triumph Books Whether for the Mayflower as shown below, or any other type of Triumph, it is worth having a look on Amazon for books, DVDs, Videos etc.

Mayflower on display at Tatton Park, Cheshire.
If you have any more info or restoration stories about this particular Mayflower, or Mayflowers in general, I'd really like to feature it on oldclassiccar.
I took all these photos at the classic & vintage show held at Tatton Park, in June 2005. The Triumph shown above was one of several hundred vehicles held in the grounds of this National Trust property.
