TRIUMPH

Triumph Motorcycles Ltd. is the largest surviving British motorcycle manufacturer. When the Triumph Engineering Co Ltd went into receivership in 1983, John Bloor bought the name and manufacturing rights from the Official Receiver. The new company (initially Bonneville Coventry Ltd) continued Triumph's record of motorcycle production since 1902, making it the world's oldest surviving motorcycle manufacturer.

The new company's manufacturing plant and its designs were not able to compete against the Japanese so Bloor decided against relaunching Triumph immediately. Initially, production of the old Bonneville was continued under licence by Les Harris of Racing Spares, in Newton Abbot, Devon, to bridge the gap between the end of the old company and the start of the new company. For five years from 1983, about 14 were built a week in peak production. In the USA, due to problems with liability insurance, the Harris Bonnevilles were never imported.

Bloor set to work assembling the new Triumph, hiring several of the group's former designers to begin work on new models. The team visited Japan on a tour of its competitors' facilities and became determined to adopt Japanese manufacturing techniques and especially new-generation computer-controlled machinery. In 1985, Triumph purchased a first set of equipment to begin working, in secret, on its new prototype models. By 1987, the company had completed its first engine. In

1988, Bloor funded the building of a new factory at a 10-acre (40,000 m2) site in Hinckley, Leicestershire. Bloor put between £70million and £100million into the company between purchasing the brand and breaking even in 2000.

The company's roots began in 1883 when Siegfried Bettmann moved to Coventry in the UK from Nuremberg, part of the German Empire. Bettman sold bicycles but used the brand name Triumph rather than his own. He was joined by another Nuremburg engineer Maritz Schulte and they produced their own bicycles.

Nuremburg engineer Maritz Schulte and they produced their own bicycles. In 1896, Bettmann established a German subsidiary for cycle production in his native city, which became part of the Triumph-Adler Company. When the internal combustion engine led to the first motorcycles they Bettman and Schulte turned to motorcycle production.

In the 1920s Triumph purchased the former Hillman car factory in Coventry and produced a saloon car under the name of the Triumph Motor Company. Harry Ricardo produced an engine for their latest motorbike.

Triumph struggled to make a profit from cars. The bicycles and motorcycles were sold off as the Triumph Cycle Co . In 1936, Jack Sangster of Ariel purchased the motorcycle division, to form the Triumph Engineering Co Ltd largely led by ex-Ariel employees.
