TRIUMPH - TT Special
Factory Built Racing Motorcycles
The TT Special was a factory racer intended for competition in the US TT Steeplechase events and was sold on both the west and east coasts of the USA.
The T120C/ TT was produced in limited numbers from 1963 to 1967 so they are all very rare, the 1963 being the rarest of the five.
These bikes are all completed with matching frame and engine numbers. There is a full documented history (extract from the Works records) and the builds.
Manufactured for five model years (1963-1967), Triumph’s fire-breathing TT Special is one of the world’s most famous high performance 650cc production-racing motorcycles. From its introduction in early 1963 through the early 1970s, it won more American TT Scrambles races than any other machine, perhaps more than all other big-bore bikes combined. It was also a feared drag-strip competitor.
Note, this is a Jim Hiddleston and Yngvar Nilsen meticulous restoration. No-expenses spared during restoration. All bikes have an exceptional quality and accuracy.
If you want more detail photos and video of any of the bike just contact me. All frame/ engine numbers will be provided to the serious buyer up on request.
