In the late 1920s it was considered that you needed an extra 50cc to haul a sidecar so Triumph added 10mm to the stroke of a Model N to get a 550cc for the 1929 model year. The Model NSD was added to the range in April 1928. About 4,450 of these were produced. The 5.49hp engine featured adjustable tappets, a decompressor on the right hand side of the crank case, a cable operated exhaust valve lifter, an aluminium piston, full floating gudgeon pin, and a roller-bearing big end. Prices in 1930 were £46/17/6 without lamps and horn, £48/17/6 with Lucas Acetylene lamps and horn, £52/12/6 with Lucas Magdyno Electric lamps and bulb horn. Chromium plating was £2/2/- extra. You could buy the machine on a 'Pay-as-you-ride' plan with the basic model requiring an £11/19/6 deposit and twelve monthly payments of £3/15/-.
The Circa 1929 Triumph NSD has been restored by the current vendor some years ago. It has formed part of a collection of Triumph motorcycles through the ages. Not used in the last few years due to other commitments. The NSD will need to be recommissioned before use. This lot does not have any documentation with it, so an age related plate will need to be applied for. An ideal vintage machine.
