Triumph is the largest surviving British motorcycle manufacturer, but it hasn’t been an easy path for the manufacturer. The British bike industry began to collapse in the 1970s and by the early 1980s Triumph sank into receivership. British businessman John Bloor bought the name and manufacturing rights with his “new” Triumph company restarting production in the early 1990s. They are now re-established as one of the world’s most desirable and best-selling brands. Reviving one of the classic names from the 1960s, the four cylinder Daytona 1200 was launched in 1993 as a comfy sports tourer but still putting out around 150bhp with 85ft lbs of torque at 8000rpm.

This Daytona 1200 in the rare Light Blue colour scheme has been part of a private collection for the last few years. In May last year it was given an extensive professional recommissioning including a fuel tank clean and re-seal, new fuel tap, a carb overhaul including new diaphragms, a brake overhaul with new pads, coolant and all fluids replaced, new fork seals and oil, new battery, tyres, air filter and a full general service. Dry stored since but started and run regularly by the vendor, it comes supplied with a current V5C. Early Hinckley Triumphs are now becoming quite collectable, whilst still being good and affordable bikes for pleasure use.
