Description

So very rarely do these sensational iconic machines become available for purchase.

This is a matching number original unrestored Trident assembled at Cyril Cannel's Peel Engineering Viking Works in Peel Town on the Isle of Man.

Firstly, this car has its all important original E1** chassis plate and its original DKW 49cc 4. 2hp power unit with correct crisp ally serial tag (showing 8041604***) together with the correct Bing 1/ 17/ 44 carb.

The car has its original metalwork/ suspension/ steering/ wheels/ hubs/ controls, original main lower body moulding and upper lifting canopy, correct spec Wipac lights front/ back, LEP 6v wiper motor, Lucas 8H 6v horn, Wilmot Breeden lock assembly, Veedol petrol cap, original loom, correct SIEM dash switch + unique plinth, original Peel badge on dash, original Trident brochure, period magazine road tests etc etc. This is a "no stories" correct unrestored un-messed Peel throughout with a current V5C in my name. The car came from "Two Strokes" of Stanmore North London and still has its dealer sticker on the dashboard today.

The car has always been dry stored thus never sat outside exposed to the elements for decades rotting away the steelwork etc.

Many uninformed enthusiasts have unfortunately been caught out over the years by the nefarious skulduggery that these machines attract. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery! There are a few tool room fakes out there..

Photos and more details on request. (FYI - there is additional valuable material and select collectible items/ parts available with the machine by separate negotiation. I have a set of NOS Avon tyres as can be seen in one of the photos).

Car is in secure storage but can be viewed for inspection. Can assist with exportation if required.

Serious offers considered.
