A brief history of the

13/35 & Fifteen models

10/20 - 1923 to 1926, 10.2 h.p. 1,393cc
4-cylinder side valve engine
with 3-speed gearbox.
This is Triumph's first motor car.
Built to a high quality in low numbers.
We have recorded 13 and two survive with their original style
bodywork.
5 body styles were available:
2/3-Seater All-Weather Tourer - £395, Sports - £305,
Four-Door Weymann Saloon - £425, 4-Seater Tourer - £460 and

13/35 - 1924 to 1926, 13.35 h.p. 1,873cc
4-cylinder side valve engine

This is the first British car to
have hydraulic brakes (all following Triumph models retained
hydraulic brakes).
It was a development of the 10/20 with wider track and longer
wheelbase.
We have not recorded any of these 13/35 models.
2 body styles were available: 5-Seater Tourer - £unknown and
4-Door Saloon - £495.

Built to the same dimensions as
the 13/35, but with a larger capacity engine, the Fifteen was the
last of larger conventional cars built by Triumph, before they
concentrated on small and then sportier cars.

bodywork.
5 body styles were available: 2/3 Seater Tourer - £395,
4/5-Seater Tourer - £395, 2 x Coachbuilt Saloons - £495 and
