1938 Triumph 14/60 Vitesse styled by Walter Belgrove

[mekubb]

Not a Vitesse, not by Belgrove and a bit earlier than 1938. One more try ....

1935 Triumph Gloria.  Later rebodied by ... Abbott?

[mekubb]

!935 is right, but not a Gloria and not by Abbott. Sorry D-Type, good tries but unlocked !

[D-type]

Is the body somewhat later than 1935?

[mekubb]

AFAIK is the body also from 1935

That's the car indeed, although from 1935 as established earlier. Point for you. I enclose another side view pic, a nice car into my opinion.

This did not make it to the Pro level, but here is another photo which indicates it is a 1937 Triumph Gloria Continental with body by Graber.  It may well be that the chassis was 1935 and the body 1937, I don't really know.
The source (not dream-cars) is usually pretty reliable.

Thanks Bill. I took the info from the exhibition catalogue where the car was shown. Just checked it again and the right year is 1937, so I changed the header.  The Triumph register also say the Continental was introduced in 1937.
