Triumph Refurbishment
Triumph Renown 1951 Refurbishment
The Triumph Renown came to our classic car workshop to undergo some refurbishment to its coachwork.
Family heirloom with traditional construction
This vehicle has been owned by the same family since it was six months old and obviously, this has great sentimental and nostalgic value. The Renown was constructed with a wooden frame chassis and the coachwork was built using steel and aluminium.
Historic pedigree
The Triumph Renown is a British four-seat, 2088cc, four-cylinder engined small luxury car – noted for its razor-edge styling. It was built by the Standard Motor Company and sold by Standard’s subsidiary, The Triumph Motor Company.
Complex fabrication and paint protection
You cannot buy any panels for the Renown, so we had to refabricate various parts of the vehicle. As you can imagine, this was a complicated build. Because of it being a light-grey colour, we decided to go apply a clear over-base paint system, to give a lasting shine and, of course, aid polishing.
Extensive re-chroming
During the course of the reconstruction, much of the bright work was re-chromed to bring it back to its former glory.
