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. Proving to be an instant success, the range developed through the 1990s with an eventual concentration on three cylinder sports tourers. When it was released the Daytona Super 3 became an overnight classic with a host of changes from the standard model, the major one being a more powerful engine. The power improvements were due to a collaboration with the tuning gurus at Cosworth and was accomplished by using flat slide carbs, higher compression pistons, re-profiled camshafts and a redesigned cylinder head. The end result was a power increase from 97bhp to 115bhp. Overall the Super 3 was a more responsive and higher performance ride with many parts in carbon fibre and improved brakes.

This striking looking Daytona Super 3 is one of only 805 special limited edition models featuring many carbon fibre extras and engine tuning modifications developed by Cosworth Engineering on behalf of Triumph. Kept as part of a Hinckley Triumphs enthusiast private collection since 2008, in sight of the factory where it was built, it is presented in good original condition. Showing a credible 23,893 miles, backed up by a number of old MOT certificates, there is also a good history of nine services throughout its life from its first at 515 miles and then approximately every 3,000 miles thereafter up to its last one at 23,865. Presented in good original condition and recently recommissioned with new oil and filter, brake fluids and fuel tap overhaul, it will come supplied with many old MOTs and a current V5C. Whilst still a bike that can be ridden and enjoyed in modern day road conditions, as a rare limited edition it will surely become a future classic.
