1950 TRIUMPH MAYFLOWER SALOON
Combined in the Triumph Mayflower are the amenities of luxury motoring and economical performance for a moderate initial cost. This two-door saloon is also in the distinctive razor-edge style that has become a feature of more expensive vehicles. It is indeed a quality car with a new look.
The four-light steel body has a specially strengthened floor, which obviates the use of a separate chassis frame and is rust-proofed.
Internally the Mayflower is very roomy and suggests the ideal family car. The instruments are neatly grouped on a central facia, with useful parcel shelves on either side.
