1956 Rickman triumph metisse 750 NOW SOLD SOLD

Beautiful powder blue metisse, road registered and with full documentation, past mot's for daylight use only. It has very low gearing for road use as the 4-speed bsa scrambles gearbox is not ideal for this application, this could easily be changed to a triumph or bsa road bike box if desired.
this bike has had very little use. The only event it has been entered in was the infamous dirt quake 2,
where it did pretty well and is wearing its number 12 plate (literally) from that brilliant event. I always intended to ride red marley on it but sadly never made it.
the bike was built by adrian moss and is to the highest specs. It has a 5t bottom end mated to a 750 top end, magneto ignition, mikuni carb, ceriani forks, works shocks, alloy rims good tyres etc.
the nickel plate frame is in superb condition as is the bodywork. The bike has not been used for some time but should need only minor fettling to prepare.
this bike is very similar to the steve mcqueen replicas that metisse currently market and could be modified by them to any desired specification.
viewing only by appointment and priced to sell at 8250. included are chain adjuster spacers, some crankshaft gears and plenty of paperwork.
