Triumph super 7 saloon 1928 Triumph was a car manufacturer founded in 1897 by Siegfried Bettmann and Moritz Schulte. They made bicycles in Coventry, United Kingdom. Around 1910 the company started building motorcycles with success, over the years many motorcycles have been built including the well-known 500cc motorcycle. Around 1921 after the first war there was a disagreement between the partners, because Schulte wanted to replace bicycle production with the production of cars. Schulte then left the company, but nevertheless Bettmann bought the car factory Hillman. From 1923 a Sedan was built under the name Triumph Motor Company.
