Triumph is one of the most iconic and revered names in the history of motorcycling. Established in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made its first motorcycle beginning a continuous run of production under various ownership until its eventual closure in 1983. In 1937 the Edward Turner-designed Speed Twin was released launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomize British motorcycles in the post-war years.
This 1948 Triumph 5T has formed part of a collection of Triumph machines. Restored many years ago, it has been used since completion. The current vendor, sadly, has not the time to use the machine. The carburettor is included in the sale and the vendor may have it refitted before the sale. Recommissioning with be required before use. It comes complete with a current V5C.
