Created at the end of the 19th century, the Triumph brand disappeared in the early 1980s after 100 years of a beautiful, albeit unfinished, history. Today, these British cars live a second life, making collectors and those who wish to drive a beautiful old car without breaking the bank happy. Somewhere in Europe, other Triumph cars, mostly Spitfires, are clearly in decay.
This is a new episode dedicated to urbex (urban exploration) after episodes that made lovers of French cars scream. A few months ago, we proposed discovering a sensational and frightening Citroën DS cemetery. This time, despite the bright red color seen in photos taken by Ghislain Sousa (Urbex The World), it’s clearly hell for these British automobiles, a few motorcycles, and… a Citroën 2CV. Among the other abandoned Triumphs, there are, among others, GT6 and Herald models.
How can one let such cars die? The term abandoned isn’t strong enough to describe this spectacle of automotive desolation. Beyond being stored against each other, these Triumphs are far from being respected by their unknown owners. We see plastic plumbing pipes, boxes, and other items and trash placed on their bodies.
Abandoned for many years, the roof of this warehouse seems to have collapsed, leaving nature to take over… bird droppings, dead leaves, and various debris making these Triumph cars suffer inexorably.
These Triumphs are truly in hell, though some could, with a lot of elbow grease, regain their former glory.
Finally, we invite you to explore not this secret place but the Urbex The World Facebook page to discover other breathtaking urbex explorations, with more photos of the endangered Triumphs available on this link : URBEX TRIUMPH.
