  • Very early model from the Hinckley factory
  • Thought to be one of the first 500 produced
  • Surely a future classic, supplied with a V5C

Triumph is the largest surviving British motorcycle manufacturer but it hasn’t been an easy path for the midlands-based manufacturer. The entire British bike industry collapsed in the 1970s and by the early 1980s Triumph went into receivership. After a few years and a lot of legal wrangling, British businessman John Bloor bought the name and manufacturing rights with his 'new' Triumph Motorcycle Company re-starting bike production in the early 1990s. Released in 1991 after years of careful development and testing and built in the new state of the art Hinckley factory, they marked a turning point in Triumph's history. Initially designed as a 'modular' concept, the range consisted of a 750cc triple and a 1000cc four together with 900cc triple and a 1200cc four, allowing them to use many of the same components across the different capacities. Eventually, they found their niche with 3-cylinder engines so the early four-cylinder models are quite rare and sought after. The Daytona 1000 was one of the first models launched after the rebirth of Triumph motorcycles in 1991 and is now quite rare and sought after.

This Daytona 1000 with a chassis number of 504 was probably built in the first month of the reborn Triumph Motorcycles' production at their brand new state of the art factory in early 1991. It has been part of a Hinckley-based Triumph enthusiast's private collection since 2008 and stored within sight of the factory where it was first built. Presented in excellent and original condition, the speedo reads a credible 11,131 miles, supported by old MOTs and a service record showing services at 452, 5,638 and 10,200 miles. Recently recommissioned by the vendor including new oil, filter and fluids, he noticed a leak from the fuel tank that will need looking at before use.
