The difficult trading conditions of the mid-1920s prompted Triumph to produce a machine that could undercut its rivals on price whilst retaining the excellent finish that had become associated with the firm. Introduced in 1925, the Model P succeeded in achieving Triumph's aims, selling for £42 17s 6d, a figure that only BSA could approach with their 493cc "3 ½" at £44. The new machine was entirely conventional with a side valve engine, three speeds and chain drive, although the early contracting band front brake was unusual and somewhat marginal in performance, it was replaced when the second batch of machines was produced, the first 20,000 having been built at the rate of 1000 a week during 1925.

This c.1926 Triumph Model P was purchased as a restoration project by the current vendor. Since his ownership, he has restored it to a good standard. Not used since completion it has formed part of a private collection of Triumph motorcycles. Due to other commitments, the machine has stood for a couple of years and will need to be recommissioned before use. The Model P has not been registered and will need to be registered for road use.
