Keep alive your passion and your passion will keep you alive

The gifts under the Christmas-tree. This year we found a welcome surprise under our Christmas tree. Cesare De Agostini, the greatest and most famous of the Italian writers of historical motoring and its protagonists, wrote for us an article about the passion for classic cars and for the Triumph. For us it is a great honor. Thank you Cesare.

In 1981 Pat Bedard, a popular US driver and journalist, wrote this article after the last Triumph sport car produced and talked about what "sport car" meant in its golden age (150s-1970s). His thoughts may explain the reason we're still fascinated by these cars.
The original included article was published in the September 1981 issue of "Car and Driver" which we thank for allowing us to translate it.

The Triumph Stag might have looked like an absolute winner in the American market – it had glamour, style and panache, and yet it failed miserably.

Was the Triumph Acclaim Japanese or British?

Chris Cowin delves into the history of building the Triumph Acclaim at Cowley, countering the myth it was simply a screwdriver operation unpacking and assembling Japanese kits. Such a belief is rather unfair to the people who worked there in the 1980s.
