Coventry-based Triumph Engineering Company Ltd was the original manufacturer of the Triumph range of iconic British motorcycles, but after the collapse of this company the rights to manufacture vehicles under this name were taken over by the Hinckley-based Triumph Motorcycles Ltd.
The company was originally founded in the late 1880's by Siegfried Bettmann, a German immigrant from Nuremberg. Although originally producing bicycles and acting as a distributor for sewing machines, the company diversified in 1898 to produce motorcycles launching their first model in 1902.
During WW1 the company produced more than 30,000 motorcycles for the Allied Forces, and after the war the company breached out again, this time to include car production after acquiring the former Hillman car production plant in Coventry. During WW2, Coventry was devastated by Luftwaffe bombing raids, although much of the tooling and machinery was salvaged from the rubble, allowing production to resume at the new Meriden plant in 1942.
The company produced many exciting and innovative models in the post-war era, among them the legendary Thunderbird, Tiger Bonneville and Daytona models. After the company went into receivership in the early 80's, the brand and manifesting rights were purchased by a wealthy enthusiast, keen to keep the legendary brand name alive.
