In some episodes both cars appeared purporting to be the same car. The same number plate J 1610 was used on both cars in the series.

This was made evident by the colour difference of the front mudguards and body without hood ornament on one car used in the earlier series and the same colour front mudguards and body with the hood ornament on the other car used in later series. Two cars were actually used over the duration of the series production. The actor John Nettles drove a red 1947 Triumph Roadster 1800 in the 1980s television series Bergerac. Evidently keen to be positive without misleading their readers, the magazine described the maximum speed as 'satisfying but not startlingly high'. On test by Autocar magazine in 1947 top speed was found to be 75В mph (121В km/h) and 0вЂ“60В mph (0вЂ“96В km/h) took 34.4 seconds. The Roadster was the last production car with a dickey seat. Entry and exit to the dickey seat was never easy and a step was provided on the rear bumper. Additional room for two was provided at the rear in a dickey seat with its own folding windscreen: this was outside the hood that could be erected to cover the front seat. The car's unusual width also made it necessary to fit three screen wipers in a row, an example followed by early shallow windscreen Jaguar E Types. Passenger accommodation was on a bench seat that was claimed to seat three: the car's 64В inch width helped make a reality of the three-abreast seating, and the approach meant a column gear change was required. The front had large separate headlamps and the radiator was well back from the front between large 'coal scuttle' wings.

A journalist old enough to remember the pre-war Dolomite Roadster that had inspired the car felt that the elegant proportions of the earlier model had been abandoned in favour of a committee-based compromise, 'a plump Christmas turkey to set against that dainty peacockВ . The rear track was wider than the front by some 4 inches. The tubular steel chassis was a short-wheelbase version of the 1800 saloon, featuring transverse leaf sprung independent suspension at the front and a live axle with semi-elliptic springs at the rear. A four-speed gearbox with synchromesh on the top three ratios was used. The Triumph version featured a downdraught Solex carburettor instead of the Jaguar's side-draught SU, and a 6.7:1 compression ratio instead of 7.6:1. The engine was a version of Standard's 1.5-litre, four-cylinder side-valve design that had been converted to overhead valves by Harry Weslake and built by Standard exclusively for SS-Jaguar before World War II. The frame was hand welded up from steel tube. Д®arly post-war steel shortages meant that the body was built from aluminium, using rubber press tools that had been used making panels for the largely wooden bodied Mosquito bomber that had been built by Standard during the war.

Walter Belgrove, who had styled the pre-war Triumphs and was employed as Chief Body Engineer, had no part in the design. Design of the rolling chassis was by Ray Turner.

After getting Black's approval for the general shape, Callaby worked with Arthur Ballard to design the details of the body.

Frank Callaby was selected to style the new car. Triumph had been bought by the Standard Motor Company in 1944, and the managing director of Standard, Sir John Black, wanted a sports car to take on Jaguar, which had used Standard engines in the pre-war period.
