Apparently there was a trend for 6 cylinder cars at the time, but they kept the power down to keep it in 8hp RAC rating for taxation purposes. Some of the four cylinder engines were supercharged on the smaller capacity ones.

Stick twin carbs and an ally head on a Super Seven and it'll hit 60. These have a huge advantage over the way more common Austin 7; the Triumph engine is a three bearing so more tunable.
