My dad worked at the standard Triumph Plant Canley on, I believe, the final finish line. I am not sure what cars my dad worked on but I believe they included the herald and the spitfire.
My dad worked at the Canley Plant from 1960 to 1980/1 and took redundancy from the plant which I believe at that time was then British Leyland. My dad was from Falkirk in Scotland and came down to Coventry in 1960s to find work. My dad was by trade a coach builder/carpenter. After taking redundancy my dad returned to Falkirk and passed away in 2003.
Thank you.
