Triumph is one of the most famous and revered names in the history of motorcycling. Established in Coventry as a bicycle-maker in 1885, by the early 1900s the company had made their first motorcycle, so beginning a continuous run of production under various ownerships until their eventual demise in 1983. In 1937, the Edward Turner-designed Speed Twin was released, heralding a range of Triumph twins that would go on to epitomise British motorcycles of the post-war years. The 350cc 3TA was the first unit-construction twin from the Meriden factory and was more generally called the Twenty-One, possibly to celebrate 21 years since the formation of Robert Sangster’s Triumph Engineering Co. They also became known as 'bathtubs' due to the distinctive, fully-enclosed rear end.

This lovely old Triumph 3TA was purchased by the vendor to be part of his small collection of motorcycles. Evidently, it was a shed or barn find previously and the owner at the time started to do some work on it. The rear ‘bathtub’ fairing must have been rotten, since it has been replaced with a brand-new steel one at great expense which has been painted to a high standard. The Triumph starts easily and settles to a very quiet and smooth idel. It is offered with a current V5C, old-style RF60 logbook and key.
