Wanted: Ex-Triumph Employees
If you are an ex-Triumph or Standard Triumph employee or indeed know someone who is, we would appreciate hearing from you. The stories from the days when our cars were coming down the production line in factories all over the UK are seldom told, but when they are, they are entertaining and informative to all who read them. Do you or your Triumph colleagues have stories to tell? If so, we would like to hear from you. In the first instance, please contact Steve Redway, Editor of TR Action, either on 01453 842723 or at: steveredway@aol.com
