A happy marriage of Triumph power and Norton roadholding. This Triton is not an evocation but an original bike, built in 1970 using all the usual modifications and issued with its registration number 'TUR 17J' at the time. Bought by the vendor’s brother in 1983, the frame is a c.1958 Wideline Featherbed with a c1958 T110 engine, now fitted with a Morgo 750cc kit. Interestingly, it was raced in the Classic MGP in the early 1990s with a 500cc engine fitted.
The specification includes a Lucas competition magneto, Smiths speedo, rev counter (gearing needs attention), Amal carbs, Borrani rims with stainless spokes, a twin leading front brake, central oil tank, steering damper and a fork brace. After its racing career it was restored for road use following a complete engine rebuild and upgraded with a 750cc Morgo kit. It has been owned and ridden by the vendor for the last 20 years and he reports it runs and rides well. The bike is photographed in Mike Seate's "Cafe Racer the Motorcycle" book at during the Brighton Burn Up.
