*Well-presented Mayflower
*Running restoration project
*Invoices included
The Triumph Mayflower was produced by Triumph between 1949 and 1953 largely for foreign markets. The idea behind the Mayflower was to produce a car that was luxurious but at an affordable price. The car was incredibly popular in Commonwealth countries such as Australia, New Zealand and Canada – but was a sales flop in the US market due to its smaller size. These are now rare vehicles, and this 1937 car is in good condition. Presented in black with blue leather interior, the car has only 73,325 miles from new. The exterior paintwork and bodywork are in an ok condition and could be further tidied up by a new owner if desired. There is moderate history included.
