The image is small scale so I can't make out the details of the lower case. A better view of g would be useful
So here are some possibilities.Triumph is a British product in business since 1903. Perhaps a British font in 1966?
The letter forms available in 1966 suggest that this could perhaps be a sloped and edited variation of Coronation, Stevenson Blake c. 1937. [designer?]. But the M is not right.

Somewhat similar were Corvinius, designed by Imre Reiner for Bauer 1929-34 which had lighter serif features on T and E.
Also somewhat similar is Eden, designed by R.H.Middleton in 1934.
As for the g Coronation or Corvinius might match, but not Eden
I did not come across any digital versions of any of these fonts as an italic.

Hi Don,

Is there any chance you could fire over a high res scan of Coronation please?

Cheers
