Triumphs were assembled in South Africa by Motor Assemblies in Durban (now
the Toyota plant) in the 50's and 60's, Port Elizabeth for a short while in
the late 60's, and in the 70's by Leyland South Africa in Cape Town. Motor
Assemblies and Port Elizabeth assembled cars were given a local body number
in various sequences, local body numbers were continued in Cape Town with
the addition of the South African prefix of the number '4' to the commission
number.
