About Us

The Long Island Triumph Association (L.I.T.A) was established in 1977 and is dedicated to the preservation, restoration and enjoyment of automobiles built by the Triumph Motor Company. Members share the common bond of their love of Triumph cars as well as a desire to help make this club rewarding and fun for every member. L.I.T.A. currently has a strong membership of over one hundred members, which continues to grow every year. Also, we are a recognized chapter of the Vintage Triumph Register.

Membership in the Long Island Triumph Association is open to anyone who currently owns, had owned, or wants to own a Triumph automobile, or anyone who just loves the marque and wants to associate with people who share the same love affair. A yearly membership fee of $35.00 is required to join.
