The Vanguard engine (2088cc) was further developed into a reliable 90hp, under 2-liter (1991cc) engine. The car eventually gained its own purpose-built chassis frame, which incorporated front suspension originally developed for the Mayflower. Ken Richardson was soon hired by Standard-Triumph to oversee development of the car into what became the TR2. Built on a prewar Standard chassis and sporting a dual-carb version of the Standard Vanguard engine, this show car looked much like the TR2s and TR3s that later followed, although rear body styling was quite different, with a more rounded, traditional look featuring exposed spare tire. In 1952 the Type 20TS (often referred to as the TR1) is introduced at Earl’s Court Motor Show.
