Triumph designer A.A Sykes, eager to rejuvenate the motorcycle division after the Great Depression, introduced three new ‘Silent Scout’ models, including a Sports variant. Sykes, who had effectively taken charge of the motorcycle section, aimed these models at customers seeking sophistication and technology without a hefty price tag. The Silent Scouts were marketed as silent, smooth, and comfortable. They featured innovations such as harmonic cams, full-flow oil filters, a lockable toolbox, and, for the first time on a Triumph, a stop light. The primary drive and valve gear were enclosed, and optional extras included a pressed-steel dashboard, combined side panels, and leg shields.

Part of a collection of The Fred Evans Collection of pre-war machines, this c.1932/3 Triumph Slient Scout was in the process of being restored by the late owner before he passed away. It is not known what work has been carried out on the Triumph, however, it would make a lovely Vintage machine once completed. There are no documents with this worthy project.
