1930 Triumph Super 7

Highlights

Previously owned by a dedicated Triumph enthusiast and since maintained in the same fastidious fashion by the vendor
Regularly serviced and exercised in its role as wedding car

The Appeal

When Triumph gave Arthur Sykes the job of building a car to take on the fantastic Austin Seven, he simply asked the chap who'd designed it to come and work for Triumph - a draughtsman by the name of Stanley Edge. Perhaps it's no wonder then that the Triumph Super Seven looked much like its Austin rival. In engineering terms, there was good reason to argue it was superior, with thoroughly modern three-main bearing crankshaft and monoblock cast iron crankcase.

Nearly a century on from launch, the Super 7 is a very rare find. Most people have never seen one, but we're sure you'll agree that it's bonny looks make it the perfect wedding car.
This 1930 example has been cherished during current ownership and exercised regularly as part of the vendor's wedding hire fleet. Having come from a keen Triumph enthusiast, the vendor was keen to keep the car in tip-top condition following their acquisition in 2016 and has since maintained it regularly, preserving its enviable condition.

You simply don't see these come up for sale, let alone an example half as nice as this one.
