1968 Triumph T100T Daytona
Highlights
- Fuel tank and tinwear repainted by Ace Classics, London
- Triumph replacement engine fitted c.1973
- Runs and rides very well with excellent road manners
The Appeal
Built to commemorate Triumph’s victory at the Daytona 200 in 1966, the 500cc T100T proved itself to be a really nimble machine, lighter and smaller than a Bonneville, which afforded the Daytona impressive handling.
Here we have a really well presented 1968 example which received a new engine from Triumph during the early 1970s. The vendor informs us that it is fantastic fun to ride and benefits from rebuilt suspension, electronic ignition and recent tyres.

- Starts, runs and rides really well
- Great handling bike that you can really move around on
