One of Val Page's earliest Triumph designs, the Model 2/1 was originally intended as a straightforward entry-level motorcycle. However, it turned out to be more costly to manufacture than expected. The model numbering system for the 1934 line-up lacked excitement, with the first number denoting engine capacity, and the second representing the model's position within the range. For example, the 2/1 was the introductory model in the 250cc range, while the 2/5 occupied the top tier.
This 1935 Triumph 2/1 was purchased by the late vendor as a complete restoration project in 2007(picture on file). He then set about to restore the Triumph to a good standard and utilising his engineering skills he achieved over many years. It comes with copies of parts books, a letter from Triumph from the 1970s, a continuation RF60 logbook from 1957, and a current V5C. Not run for a short time, it requires some light recommissioning.
