I've been on the hunt for an actual picture of a working Triumph dealership. It surprised me a little to find that I've completely struck out so far. Can anyone point me to something that might show a Triumph sign/showroom cars etc.? Its for our club newsletter.
 
Randy. I have some pics of assembly line I've saved from various other posts, but none of a dealership. If you are interested in the assembly line ones happy to send what I have. Just send me a PM. I'd be interested too if you find dealership pictures as I'm webmaster for our club. Cheers, Mike
 
I don't have the book handy, and I don't remember for sure, but I think "Triumph Cars in America" which is as much about the the sales and marketing of the cars and the people that sold them as the cars themselves, probably has some
 
Thanks Mike, pm is on the way.

I have that book Greg, and yes its about the only place where I've glimpsed something close to a showroom - but not much is there either. Several large auto show pics, plus the big NYC dealership but not much else. Probably would be bad form to snag a pic out of it, since it was written by Mike Cook and he reviews all newsletters for VTR - he might go after us for copyright :smile:
 
Here's a few pics from "British Sportscars in America". Hope this helps.

Jim- great pics, thanks!
 
Darryl- excellent. I suspect most pictures are just like that, not advertisement but just family photos around the dealership. Probably some good ones out there but hard to find.

I don't know where I got this picture, it may have been from the BCF. I thought it would be great to make a copy for my garage when my cars are done.

I thought I'd make one of these to hang on the wall.

Now those are slick. I'm guessing that is some adornment at the factory maybe? I've never seen it.
 
If we could only step back in time with a wallet full of today's dollars to spend.
 
Even if we couldn't purchase, what a hoot it would be just to go back to roam these lots and look at the inventory. Very neat.
 
Do a Google search for Triumph car dealership images. You'll get a few more that are different....
 
Found this place while wandering around San Antonio...

As I recall it was abandoned -- what was I thinking? 15 minutes with a hacksaw & wrench and it could have gone home with me.
