Triumph is one of the most iconic and revered names in the history of motorcycling and in 1937 the Edward Turner-designed 500cc Speed Twin was released beginning a range of evocatively named vertical twins that went on to epitomize British motorcycles in the post-war years. The Daytona was named after American rider Buddy Elmore's win in the 1966 Daytona 200 race riding a specially tuned works Tiger 100 developed by Triumph's Chief Engineer and designer Doug Hele. Based on the set-up developed for the Daytona race, Triumph launched a production model the following year featuring a new cylinder head fed by twin Amal carburettors with the valve angle reduced by two degrees and the intake valve size increased as a result of lessons learned on the works racer.

This ‘matching numbers’ Daytona has been part of an enthusiast's private collection for the last 5 years and appears to have spent all its life in the UK. A good-looking bike in Green and Silver, it has been restored keeping a good degree of originality and has recently benefitted from a new pair of Amal concentrics and a wheel rebuild using stainless rims, spokes and new bearings. Fitted with a later seat, the original one comes with the bike together with a current V5C.
