Only one example of this car was ever made by Triumph. The Triumph TR1 prototype was unveiled in October 1952 at the London Motor Show. The Triumph TR1 name was never officially used.

The Cars was built using existing components with an engine from a Standard Vanguard, suspension from the Triumph Mayflower and a chassis from the pre war Standard Flying Nine. Problems arose when the Cars came to be driven as it was a poor handler, had a top speed of barely 80 mph (129 km/h) and was an overall disappointment to its early viewers, one of whom, Ken Richardson of BRM, described it as a 'death-trap.'

The Triumph Cars, which never went into production, was withdrawn, and the designs taken back to the drawing board, and a year later the new improved Triumph TR2 was unveiled.

It is unknown whether the original prototype exists today.
