Triumph made their first motorcycle in 1902 with the 1912 3½HP model being a continuation of the 1910 TT class winner and known as one of the most durable and reliable motorcycles of the time. This example is fitted with the free-engine clutch fitted in the rear wheel hub that's actuated with a heel/toe foot pedal (a rare option). The transmission was via a simple V-belt, the motorcycle's frame set low and the springer front fork of Triumph's own design. For flat tyres, the rear stand does not interfere with the removal of the wheel, this was a wonderfully well-thought-out motorcycle in 1912.
This 1912 model is the desirable 'free engine' model, a single-speed machine with hub clutch and final drive by belt - with light pedal assistance if required. Purchased by the current owner in 2016, to form part of his collection of machines, it was restored to a good standard some 20 years ago. During his ownership, the vendor used it for a few rallies and steam fairs. Not used for a short time, it may require some light recommissioning before use. It is offered with a current V5C and a Pioneer Certificate from 2006.
