The two-door Triumph Mayflower made its debut late in 1949. It had a three-speed column shift transmission that was meant to appeal to American customers. The 1,247cc L-head four-cylinder overhead valve engine offered 90 horsepower and was an economical powerplant. Production of the Mayflower would continue only for a short time, ending just three years later. It is estimated that around 200 of the 34,000 examples built were sold in its intended American market.This Mayflower example is powered by a 1622cc overhead-valve engine from an MGA. There is a four-speed gearbox with a floor shifter, also from an MG, and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. It has Yankee accessory directional signals and modern radio.
In 2010, this car was offered for sale at the Sports & Classics of Monterey offered by RM Auctions. It was estimated to sell for $15,000 - $20,000 and offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $13,200, inclusive of the buyer's premium.
