Triumph is one of the most iconic and revered names in the history of motorcycling. Established in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made its first motorcycle beginning a continuous run of production under various ownership until its eventual closure in 1983. In 1937 the Edward Turner-designed Speed Twin was released launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomize British motorcycles in the post-war years.
This very early post war Triumph Speed Twin has clearly been restored to a very high standard by the previous owner, Mr Gibberry c. 2003. Purchased by the late vendor to form part of his Triumph collection as he did not have an early post war model. Once in the collection the Triumph has hardly been used but started from time to time. It comes complete with a V5C continuation old-style logbook. Some light recommissioning is required before use. Sold at 'No Resreve'.
