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 1970's and by the early 1980’s 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 1990’s.
When it was released the Super 111 became an overnight classic with a host of changes from the standard model, the major one being a significantly more powerful engine. The power improvements were due to a collaboration with the tuning gurus at Cosworth and was accomplished by using higher compression pistons and a redesigned cylinder head. The end result was a power increase from 97 bhp to 115 bhp. Overall the Super III was a more responsive and higher performance ride, and also had many parts switched to carbon fiber and improved brakes. This rare Daytona was bought by the vendor in 1997 as only its second owner who has loved and cared for it since, only selling now due to advancing years. Still sporting its original limited edition specification it has had a modified sprag clutch fitted, a notorious weakness of the original design. Supplied with a paddock stand, single seat cover and original grab rail, it is MOT'd until March 2023 and is registered on a current V5C.
