[quote GGD68MP526CG2A2D]Unlike BMC or Rootes, I don't think Triumph had any other marques to badge engineer vehicles for. They didn't resurrect the "Standard" name for other versions of Triumph for good reason. Creating a badge engineered Standard version of the TR series would have been something. How about the Standard Stag with no opening boot and half the V8.[/quote] The Indians must have regarded the Standard name with more esteem than Triumph or Rover. The Herald-based Gazel was always a Standard, and the SD1 Rover was rebranded as the Standard 2000 in the 1980s. They were all made by Standard Motor Products of India Limited in Madras (now Chennai), so maybe that's why they kept the name going.
