This car is to be auctioned at The Autumn Stafford Sale - The Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show
When Triumph adopted unitary construction for its vertical twins, the 5TA Speed Twin (introduced in September 1958) would be the second model of this new family, joining the 350cc Twenty One/ 3TA launched the previous year. The 5TA closely followed the lines of its '350' predecessor, there being little to distinguish it mechanically apart from a larger bore, raised gearing, and larger-section rear tyre. The controversial 'bathtub' rear enclosure introduced on the Twenty One was retained and the Speed Twin came finished in the model's traditional Amaranth Red. This Speed Twin was purchased by the vendor's late father in 2006 and subsequently restored. Last used in 2015, the machine has been dry-stored under a protective film of oil and will require recommissioning before returning to the road. A good example, presented well, '748 XVS' is offered with a parts catalogue and various manuals; a quantity of old MoTs, tax discs and SORN paperwork; and old/ current V5Cs.
