Whilst maybe not inventing the Triton concept, 1960s racer Dave Degens of Dresda Autos was one of the first to popularise the hybrid amongst the ‘cafe racer’ crowd and became the go to man for building and tuning these iconic specials. A major boost for the company’s name and reputation came when Dave together with co-ride Rex Butcher used one to win the very demanding 24-hour Barcelona endurance race in 1965.
On offer is a typical ‘rocker’s’ machine of the time. It is not known when this Triton was built but it has certainly been done to a good standard. Purchased by the late owner in 2016, to sit with his Gold Star (also on offer), it too was ridden sparingly and then only on dry days. It comes complete with a current V5C, some old receipts and a spare Triton tank as pictured.
