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 before its rebirth in the early 1990s. In 1937 the Edward Turner-designed Speed Twin was released launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomise British motorcycles in the post-war years. Many believe the 500cc and 650cc models such as the Bonneville, Tiger and Daytona to be the ultimate examples of the classic British vertical twin.
Unfortunately, not much is known about the history of this bike, but it is thought to have been previously on display at the London Motorcycle Museum which closed a few years ago and specialised in displaying Triumphs. The engine number of XE06417 suggests it is a T100C built in late 1970, however, the RA prefix on the frame number, even though the actual number matches and the stamping looks genuine, was never included in Triumph's 'date indicating numbering system' used at the time. Presented in excellent condition and being offered at 'no reserve', it is fitted with low level exhaust and a disc front brake. Part of a private collection and run recently, it is offered with a current V5C.
