Perhaps, but I owned one titled as such. Interestingly, when I took it to the
UK for three years, they registered it as a 60. Then upon returning to the
u.s., Texas did the same thing.
Probably more correct to say there were none MADE in 1960. Remember they used
to title the cars year as the year in which it sold. Seems strange now,
doesn't it? Dmv would have hernias over that sort of thing now!

Right! The Triumph 10 seems to have coincided with the Standard Ten Gold Star,
built from April 1957 to July 1959. Likely you had one of the later ones. As it
often took several months from build to arrival in the US, it's very likely it
was sold in late 1959 or even early 1960 as a 1960 model!

Herald engine with wings.
