Triumph is one of the most iconic and revered names in the history of motorcycling. Established in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made their first motorcycle beginning a continuous run of production under various ownership until its eventual closure in 1983. In 1937 the Edward Turner designed Speed Twin was released launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomize British motorcycles in the post war years. The 5TA was the first 500cc unit construction twin from the Meridan factory and was more generally known as the 'Speed Twin', originally wearing the full Bath Tub rear enclosure by 1963 this had been modified to the more stylish abbreviated version.

This standard example is an older restoration and has been run recently but will require some recommissioning before use. It comes fitted with a later-style grab rail and a police-style fuel tank. The latter incorporating a lockable box on top. Supplied with a current V5C and a couple of old MOTs.
