The difficult trading conditions of the mid-1920s prompted Triumph to produce a machine that could undercut its rivals on price whilst retaining the excellent finish that had become associated with the firm. Introduced in 1925, the Model P succeeded in achieving Triumph's aims, selling for £42 17s 6d, a figure that only BSA could approach with their 493cc "3 ½" at £44. The new machine was entirely conventional with a side valve engine, three speeds and chain drive, although the early contracting band front brake was unusual and somewhat marginal in performance, it was replaced when the second batch of machines was produced, the first 20,000 having been built at the rate of a 1000 a week during 1925.

With the current ownership spanning over 20 years, this Triumph Model P has been restored during that time. The restoration was completed in 2013 by the current owner and subsequently the motorcycle has been used since, by the owner/ enthusiast. The Model P is offered at auction with a current V5 on file.
