Description
NOT MY USUAL STOCK, THIS COOL OLD TRIUMPH CAME TO ME AS PART OF A DEAL ON SOME CARS FROM A COLLECTOR WHO HAD A SHED FULL OF INTERESTING OLD CARS AND BIKES.
I WON'T PRETEND TO BE AN EXPERT ON CLASSIC TRIUMPHS AND iI'VE BEEN TOLD IT SHOULD HAVE BE A TWIN CRAB SET UP FOR EXAMPLE, SO IF YOU WANTED A NUMBERS MATCHING ALL ORIGINAL BIKE THEN THIS WON;T BE ONE FOR YOU.
IF HOWEVER YOU FANCY A "RORTY SNORTY" CAFE RACER THAT YOU COULD RACE ON THE WEEKENDS AND STILL RIDE DOWN THE PUB TOO, THEN THIS SHOULD BE RIGHT UP YOUR STREET !
IT COMES WITH A THICK FILE AND SPARES INCLUDING A BIG "AMAL" CARB.
THE FILE DETAILS LOTS OF INFORMATION AND DETAILS ABOUT THE SET UP AND HAS CLEARLY HAD A LOT OF MONEY SPENT ON IT, IT WOULD APPEAR TO HAVE SOME VERY EXPENSIVE HARD TO FIND PARTS WHICH HAVE A VALUE IN THEIR OWN RIGHT.
I HAVE HAD IT RUNNING WHEN I FIRST GOT IT AROUND 8 MONTHS AGO AND HAVE RIDDEN IT AROUND THE YARD AND IT'S CERTAINLY GOT SOME GRUNT, BUT IT HAS NOW BEEN STANDING FOR A WHILE AND I'VE NOT DONE ANYTHING WITH IT SO IT NEEDS TO GO TO A HOME WHERE IT CAN BE FETTLED AND ENJOYED.
I'M SELLING IT AS IS AS IT STANDS, I'T WILL NEED A NEW BATTERY AS WELL NOW.
IT HAS A V5 SHOWING REGISTRATION "1974" BUT ALSO HAS A DATING CERTIFICATE FROM THE VINTAGE MOTORCYCLE CLUB CONFIRMING MANUFACTURED 1968 IT IS NOT MATCHING NUMBERS AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, IT WAS BY ALL ACCOUNTS RACED IN THE 70'S AND BUILT FROM PERIOD CORRECT PARTS AND ALL THIS IS AUTHENTICATED BY THE DOCUMENTATION AND THE VMC WHO INSPECTED IT IN 2010 WHEN IT WAS RE-REGISTERED BY DVLA TO ITS CURRENT "F " PLATE REGISTRATION. IT HAS A PILE OF BILLS AND RECEIPTS.
IT'S NOT ALL ORIGINAL NUMBERS MATCHING NOR STANDARD AND IT'S NOT BEING SOLD AS THAT, IT IS HOWEVER A VERY COOL AND WELL BUILT ROAD/ RACE BIKE WITH A CORRECT T100T FRAME AND T100T ENGINE.
PRICED AT A SENSIBLE LEVEL, HAPPY TO DISCUSS THE BIKE AND VIEWINGS RECOMMENDED,
