The Triumph Southern Cross was a small roadster that the Triumph Motor Company built in 1932 as the successor to the Super 8 parallel to the Super 9.

Like the Super 9, the Southern Cross already had the new variable-speed engines based on Coventry Climax patents. The in-line four-cylinder engines had 1087 cm³ displacement and 40 bhp (29 kW) power at 4000 / min or 1232 cm² displacement and 42 bhp (31 kW) at 4500 / min. Both versions were optionally available with different wheelbases (2343 mm or 2642 mm).

In the following years the models Gloria 10 and Gloria 12 replaced the Southern Cross.
