Car Id

[u8myufo]

I have been meaning to post this one up for ages now to get an ID. Whilst down on Plymouth Hoe a few months back I heard this before seeing it. The guy was booting it a little and who could blame him Anyhow not knowing too much about old cars as you will no doubt gather I thought I would post it up here.Looking at the grill I would have said either Wolsley or Riley :shrug:
But the badge on the grill is kind of Alpha Romeo looking. I did try a search online with the registration but that turned nothing up other than a poet and some other oddities.

Looks like an old Triumph to me.

Is it an Austin Healy?

It's a Triumph 2000 Roadster.

Defo a triumph, badge is a give away. Just not sure what model yet.

1949 Triumph Roadster.

Before my time mate, but my dad told me about them and its a Triumph badge for sure. The experts here seem to know the model so I'll let them guide you

Indeed, a Triumph Roadster. A truly dreadful car made famous in the Bergerac television series, after which, values rocketed

Nice photo, BTW!
