TRIUMPH 1300 Rare
As of 2026 Q2, 334 TRIUMPH 1300s remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 336 in 2025 Q1 — only 99% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 2 cars. Numbers have held broadly steady over recent years rather than falling away — often the mark of a model that owners deliberately preserve. Tellingly, 42% are declared SORN — kept off the road in garages and barns rather than driven, the signature of a car being looked after rather than used up.

About the 1300
The Triumph 1300 is a medium/small 4-door saloon car that was made between 1965 and 1970 by Standard Triumph in Coventry, England, under the control of Leyland Motors. It was introduced at the London Motor Show in October 1965 and intended as a replacement for the popular Triumph Herald. Its body was designed by Michelotti in a style similar to the larger Triumph 2000. It was replaced by the Triumph 1500, and was re-engineered in the early 1970s to form the basis for the Toledo and Dolomite ranges.
