The Appeal
A quintessential classic motorcycle in café racer style created from the best available parts of the day, in this instance a Norton wideline featherbed frame with a Triumph T110 pre-unit engine.
Always an individual ride, put together to suit the demands and riding style of the individual, these café racers were a quality piece of kit with their own unique design and feel, that now are in high demand from motorcycle enthusiasts that are looking for something that extra bit special.
Restored and rebuilt in 2010 to an exceptionally high standard with many parts powder-coated in black makes this bike stand out from the crowd and a great example of the Triton café racer.
The History and Paperwork
- 1960 Norton frame
- Restored in 2010
- Engine and transmission fully rebuilt
- Frame and many parts powder-coated in black
- V5c present
- MOT exempt
- Many receipts for parts
- Detailed restoration pictures on DVD
- No key required
- Serviced and ready to ride
The current owner bought this bike fully restored in 2013 and had it declared SORN for the past 5 years as it was kept dry stored and drained of all fuel. Recently recommissioned the bike is now ready for its next owner, having covered only 618 since its total rebuild in 2010.
The Condition
- Very good overall condition
- Many parts powder-coated in black
- Beautifully presented with subtle patina of age
Very nice overall presentation with the powder-coating of the frame and various other parts really making for a distinct and classic overall look and feel.
The black wheels and spokes together with the headlight brackets and headlight itself are all in stunning condition and the mini-manx style wideline alloy petrol tank is highly polished with a couple of small dents which are part of the bikes patina and history and therefore do not detract from the bike’s appeal in the slightest.
Everything is clean and highly polished making for one hell of a beautiful classic café racer from days gone by.
The Mechanics
- 650cc four-stroke Triumph T110 pre-unit
- New Amal carburettors balanced and jetted
- Re-built engine and transmission
- New clutch
- New tyres
- Vented twin leading shoe front brake
- New cables
- Recently recommissioned and ready to ride
Recently fully re-commissioned after its 5 year lay-up this unique café racer is running superbly, featuring a rare four plug head and having been built with a real eye for style and detail there is nothing to suggest there are likely to be any issues anywhere on this superbly presented machine.
New Amal carbs provide the relevant fuel and air mixture and these have been recently balanced and jetted to make the big Triumph twin run smoothly and efficiently throughout its rev range.
The Summary
Polished aluminium, black powder-coated frame and ancillary parts make this Triton a real class act that would feel at home in any collection or heading out on a sunny day to a biker’s meet at the local café.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
