The T140 TSS was the last motorcycle model made by Triumph Engineering at their Meriden factory. Designed to appeal to the US market, the TSS had an eight-valve Weslake Engineering cylinder head developed by Triumph following 1960s designs for the 650cc twins by the Rickman Brothers. Launched in 1982 with an electric starter as standard, the all-new top end of the engine featured Cooper rings sealing the 8-valve cylinder head to the barrel. Only 112 TSS bikes were actually exported by Triumph, as on 26 August 1983 the factory at Meriden went into voluntary liquidation. It is calculated that 438 TSS units were made in total.
This 1983 Triumph T140 TSS was purchased by the current vendor some ten years ago. It has formed part of his collection of Triumphs. It is an all correct numbers machine that will require full recommissioning before use due to being stood for a while. We have been advised it last ran a couple of years ago.
