Triumph Gloria 10 HP Sports Tourer

The Gloria was the car that built Triumph's sporting reputation in the 1930s, aimed at the medium-sized sports market then dominated by Riley. Donald Healey was involved in its development, alongside designer Charles Ridley, who had come over from Riley. It used a cruciform-braced chassis, underslung at the rear, with hydraulic brakes on all four wheels.

This 1934 10 HP Sports Tourer has a 1,087cc petrol engine and a manual gearbox. It is finished in cream over pastel blue with a contrasting green leather interior, new carpets and a black mohair tonneau cover.

The car is understood to have had four owners and was off the road from 1968 until a restoration in 2014, which cost around £12,000. Bills for that work are on file. It also comes with old logbooks, a current V5C, photographs, instruction manuals and a verification document from the Pre-1940 Triumph Club.
