Manufacturer description

Triumph Coaches was a subsidiary of Sussex Motor Services Ltd and operated from their Portsmouth base, specialising in excursions and tours in the south west of England, extending into the Midlands. In 1957, Triumph Coaches were taken over by Southdown Motor Services.

Our model is a replica of the Triumph Coaches Weymann Fanfare on a Leyland chassis and decorated in their very attractive bright blue and cream livery, with dark blue skirt. Registered 8147 CD and ready for an Excursion, judging by the destination panel, the coach interior features the same bright blue seating as the exterior. There is also a wealth of silver masking to the bodywork and the winged gold and pale blue logo of the coach company is printed on both sides of the coach. However, note that it is the Southdown Motor Services Brighton address that features in gold on the nearside behind the front wheel, indicating the takeover had been accomplished.
