Triumph is one of the most revered names in the history of motorcycling. Established as a bicycle-maker in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made its first motorcycles, beginning a continuous run of production under various ownership until its eventual closure in 1983. In 1937, the Edward Turner-designed Speed Twin was released, heralding a range of Triumph twins that would go on to epitomise British motorcycles of the post-war years.


This very early post-war Triumph Speed Twin was clearly restored to a very high standard by the previous owner, Mr. Gibberry, circa 2003. It was purchased by the late vendor to form part of his Triumph collection as he did not have an early post-war model. Once in the collection, the Triumph received little use but was started from time to time. It comes with a V5C and continuation old-style logbook. Some light recommissioning is required before use. Sold at no reserve.
