Healy, reminiscent of an Italian Alfa Romeo.
Financial difficulties in the prewar period forced the company in 1944 to go to Association with the company Standard to form a group of Standard-Triumph.
The first post-war car group has become the Triumph 1800, manufactured in the versions of “sedan” and “coupe”. The car was produced from 1946 to 1948. By construction, the Triumph 1800 was a transitional model, which incorporates the design refinements of the 1930-ies, design, and technological developments of the postwar period.
