By the outbreak of the Great War, Triumph’s reputation for quality and reliability was well established, At the start of the First World War in 1914 the British Government needed effective communications with front line troops and replaced messengers on horses with despatch riders on motorcycles. A number of models were tested for suitability and the Triumph Model H was selected. With the rear wheel driven by a belt, the Model H was fitted with a 499cc air-cooled four-stroke single-cylinder engine. It was also the first Triumph not to be fitted with pedals, so was a true motorcycle.

The current owner purchased this 1919 Triumph Model H to go into his collection of Triumph motorcycles. Purchased as a restored example, it has had little use since. The Triumph will need light recommissioning before placing back on the road. It is offered with a current V5C.
