Triumph Mayflower
Sir John Black relaunched newly acquired Triumph Cars using mainly Standard components and the Mayflower was one of the first. Intended to be a smaller version of the Triumph Renown, it was styled by Leslie Moore of Mulliners, and built by Fischer and Ludlow. Walter Belgrove was involved in the design of the front and the Mayflower started production in June 1950.

Triumph Mayflower. Sir John Black asked Mulliners to design the Mayflower like pre-war cars to give an air of quality that was thought to appeal to the American market. But the 'Razor Edge' styling of the Mayflower and Renown was not a success.
