The Appeal
While the Hot Rodders were busily blending components from different manufacturers to hit their perfect cars, in the 1950s the same was happening with bikes. These ‘Triton’ bikes picked the best of Triumph and Norton bikes and pulled it together with low-slung styling.
This superb 750cc 1958 bike is a Triton-built model with a particularly high specification. Clearly well loved and maintained it is a great example that looks as evocative and enticing now as it surely did in 1958.
