“Honey, I shrunk the Rolls-Royce.” – This thought is at least very obvious when you catch sight of a Triumph Mayflower for the very first time. The British car brand wanted to place its models in the luxury sector, but at the same time remain in the middle class in terms of size. From 1949, the Mayflower rounded off the lower end of their range , while its sister model, the Renown, was positioned above it and clearly took up the design of Rolls-Royce. There the Silver Wraith appeared three years before, whose fenders were still put on the body outside. The rear trunk was integrated seamlessly below the rear window with a small step. Triumph gratefully adopted this design feature. The side design of the Mayflower, however, was about six years ahead of Rolls-Royce. Coming from the headlights, an accentuated beltline runs between the fenders, dropping to the rear end behind the rear wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noble appearance at 3.96 meters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Triumph succeeded in giving the Mayflower a luxurious appearance by using two-tone paintwork and chrome trim on the large radiator grille and bumpers. To understand why the thought mentioned at the beginning arises, let’s hold the exterior length of the Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith and Triumph Mayflower side by side. While the luxury sedan with normal wheelbase stretches to 5.23 meters, the small car from Coventry is only 3.96 meters long. For this reason, rear doors were dispensed with from the outset. Nevertheless, there was enough room inside for up to four passengers. The dashboard is painted the same color as the car and has two round displays in the center. While the right-hand instrument shows the speed, three dials on the left indicate the fuel level and the oil and water temperatures. The tailgate opens downward to reveal the trunk.<\/p>\n\n\n
