Triumph is one of the most iconic and revered names in the history of motorcycling. Established in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made its first motorcycle beginning a continuous run of production under various ownership until its eventual closure in 1983. In 1937 the Edward Turner-designed 500cc Speed Twin was released launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomize British motorcycles in the post-war years. From 1960, the Thunderbird acquired Turner's rear fairing nicknamed the 'bathtub' on account of its shape. This unpopular feature, dropped quickly in the USA market, remained in ever-abbreviated forms for the home market until disappearing altogether for the final year of production.

This 1958 Triumph Thunderbird was dispatched to John Duncan & Sons, Brechin, Scotland, on the 23rd May, 1958. A rare one-year colour in the model range, it was restored model a few years go, and to a good standard by the previous owner. We have been advised that it starts and rides as it should. It has had much money spent on its restoration and is all still holding up well. It is being offered with a current V5C.
