Built in April 1957 at the Standard Triumph Competition Department in the Birmingham factory for the works rally team under the supervision of Ken Richardson who was instrumental in Triumphs Roaster success. Equipped with disc brakes, a straight four 2.0ltr engine and the distinctive Apple green paintwork they entered the 1957 European rally season.
