This
very tidy Sportsman belongs to Richard Whittington
who lives in Rearsby, Leicestershire. The Sportsman was
a variant on the Phase 3 Vanguard, the principal change being
the fitment of the twin-carb TR4 engine and a different grille
incorporating the Triumph "World" emblem. It is
thought that the car would originally be badged as a Triumph
Renown, but the idea was dropped in favour of the name
"Sportsman" Richard 's car was a feature on this
year's International
Triumph Restoration Show
Richard
also owns a Vignale Vanguard in running order which is for
sale to a good home and a Pennant along with some other
non-Standard classics. The Sportsman was bought from the
purchaser at the Gaydon auction last year has been given it a
bit of a refurbishment and an MOT.
