Triumph’s use of the Daytona name stemmed from American rider Buddy Elmore's win at the 1966 Daytona 200 at the Daytona International Speedway, Daytona Beach, Florida. He achieved an average speed of 96. 6mph on a 'works special' Triumph Tiger 100. The 500cc Tiger 100 Daytona was developed by Triumph's chief engineer and designer Doug Hele and launched as a production motorcycle the following year. Based on the set-up developed for the 1966 Daytona races, it was fitted with a new cylinder head and twin Amal Monobloc carburettors. In the head, the valve angle was reduced by two degrees and the intake valve size increased as a result of testing.
On offer is a very nicely presented 1972 Daytona. The previous owner has spent a great deal of money on its restoration, completely stripping the Triumph down and undertaking to make repairs or replace parts as required. The paintwork is of a very high standard and is holding up very well. It ought to be a great machine for its new owner as all the hard work has seemingly been done, it also starts with ease and everything appears to work as it should. Accompanying the Triumph is a folder full of receipts from many well-known Triumph suppliers present among them. A current V5C is on file.
