In 1957 Triumph announced a new machine with a twin cylinder engine that would revive interest in the 350cc class. It was called the ‘Twenty One’ and its most striking feature was the styling of the rear enclosure reminiscent of an old fashioned hip bath, hence the nickname ‘The Triumph Bathtub’.
This matching numbers motorbike was completely rebuilt in 2002 when the mileage was 48, 911 and this included a new barrel, pistons, rings and the cylinder head was replaced. The crankshaft was reground and fitted with new big end and main bearings and the gearbox was rebuilt with all new bearings. The swinging arm and steering head bearings were renewed as were the main and primary chains. Both wheels were re-spoked onto Dunlop rims and a new rear brake drum was fitted at the same time. New fork seals, a new seat, new indicators, a 12volt conversion and a respray completed the restoration.
Purchased by the owner in 2007 the bike has had very little use over the following years and will therefore require recommissioning.
Comes with – a current V5C, photocopies of old registration documents and a green continuation logbook, various MOT certificates from 2002 to 2016 and some old receipts and tax discs.
Estimate: £3, 000 – 4, 000
