What a fantastic turnout at Duxford for the 2009 Standard Triumph Marque Day. No doubt this was helped along by the fantastic weather on the day, but the cars just seemed to keep on coming. The end result was a field packed with colour, flair and good cheer which must have been a real bonus to those non-Triumph visitors who had come along simply intending to check out the War Museum.
Each month we try to reflect variety in Triumph World. Take this issue's feature cars, for instance. From the American glitz and glamour that went into the Standard Vanguard Phase III to the more discreet and very sophisticated Stag, from the radical conversion of a Spitfire into a Hurricane to the TR4 that tows a caravan, there's surely something to appeal to everyone. We've even found room for a guest appearance by our two wheeled Triumph cousins in the shape of the evergreen Bonneville family.
Of all these, it is the TR4 that I want to pick up on before I leave you to get on with enjoying the rest of the issue. The TR4 is usually one of the more premium-rate cars in the Standard-Triumph line up, but owner Hugh Lyons has shown with his car that you can still enjoy the TR4 experience on a modest budget.
