Triumph Models P, Q and QA-1
There was also later, a 1927 Model QA. This was different to the 1926 model, being closer to the 1927 Model N; hence my 'QA-1' in the booklet title. References in this booklet to the Model QA will relate only to the 1926 Model. Much has been written of the Model P in books and magazines. Some is true, some is fiction and some is very inaccurate. It seems that while there may be many who write, it appears that few are historians.
In one book, one reads that the Model P "was a disaster for Triumph". However nothing could be further from the truth for the Model P was Triumph's saviour at a time when they, like most of the motor cycle manufacturers, were in financial trouble - the mid-1920s, due to the post-war boom having fizzled out, castings strikes stifling production, plus not least of all, the fact that the Austin Seven car was available for around 25 more than a motor cycle and sidecar and in 1924 more cars were registered in Britain than motor cycles. Triumph's profit had fallen dramatically for 1924. Triumph decided that the way out of the industry's recession was to work, and sell, their way out in a similar manner to when Herbert Austin had previously dropped the intended price of the Austin Seven from 225 to 165, causing them to sell like hot cakes. So Triumph needed a new machine with a rock bottom price.
Thus was born the idea of a 'lightweight' 500cc model capable of solo use, yet with power to haul a sidecar with ease, and capable of easily being modified to provide a 'sports' version for those who desired such a machine. Without frills the Model P was not only lightweight, but also capable of being assembled easily and quickly, so plans were made for the Works to be able to produce a large number of machines in a relatively short space of time. ---------- The early decades of the 20th century was an exciting period of innovation in automotive history when travel options were limited and the freedom of motorcycling was a real adventure.Are you are restoring one of these early Triumph motor cycle?
Interested in motorcycling history?
Needing the correct historical FACTS for your book or film project?
Or researching aspects of your family history.
Then this book, being filled with accurate technical details; images and diagrams from the period; and historical information - The FACTS - is for you.
Each book within the Triumph The FACTS series, is the result of patient, dedicated and meticulous research by the author to cover a single motor cycle model, or common range, in detail.
This series of The FACTS books has been titled due to a remark from someone whom Peter assisted with his restoration.
"Over the years many people have given me advice but you are the only one who has ever given me FACTS!" ---------- On Nov 14th 1940, the Triumph factory was destroyed in the air raid on Coventry. All records were lost of models built, their dates and total numbers.
4 decades later, in the early 1980's, Peter Cornelius accepted the challenge to accurately date every pre-1940 Triumph motor cycle, and spent the following 4 decades intimately researching the details of every pre-1940 Triumph, to rediscover the 11 missing coding systems.
Recognised as a global authority on Vintage Triumph motor cycles, a Marque Specialist for the Vintage Motor Cycle Club in the UK even when he emigrated to NZ, Peter is the author of 28 books on Triumph history before 1940.
The Model P is probably the best known Triumph of the vintage period. With almost 50,000 made, and sales round the world it is one of the most numerous Triumphs still surviving a century later. Spares are fairly easy to come by and as a 'no frills' machine what is not found at swap meets is not difficult to reproduce.
The Model P was followed by two Sports versions, the Model Q and an overseas Super Sports Model QA.There was also later, a 1927 Model QA. This was different to the 1926 model, being closer to the 1927 Model N; hence my 'QA-1' in the booklet title. References in this booklet to the Model QA will relate only to the 1926 Model.
