• A perfect combination of the best of Norton and Triumph
• Thought to have been built by John Mossey in 2003
• Built to ride, supplied with numerous receipts and a V5C

One of the classic images of the 1960s heyday of British motorcycling is the Triton, a potent blend of the celebrated Norton Featherbed frame and the Triumph 650 twin engine. The café racer style is still popular with most modern-day manufacturers including one in their range. This classic combination of a Featherbed frame fitted with a T120 Bonneville motor makes for a great café racer. Thought to have been built by John Mossey in 2003 as a bike to be ridden, it's fitted with a cast-iron disc brake gripped by Grimeca callipers, Triumph T140 forks, an alloy top yoke, alloy rims, Torozzo rearsets, Hagon rear shocks, electronic ignition and some neat little indicators to make it more suitable for use in modern day road conditions. The bike is pictured in Mike Seate’s book Café Racer: The Motorcycle and was featured in a documentary film, Cafe Racer Society, alongside David Hailwood whilst he talks about classic bikes. It could cost over £20,000 to put together a bike to this specification today. It has been part of an enthusiast’s private collection of ’50s and ’60s bikes for the last few years, all stored in a heated garage. Recommissioned by the Motorcycle Restoration Company in 2015 at a cost of £1,440, it has stood for a while since so may need further fettling and comes supplied with lots of invoices, some old MOTs and a current V5C.
