Triumph is one of the most iconic and revered names in the history of motorcycling. Established in Coventry in 1885, by the 1900s the company had made their first motorcycle beginning a continuous run of production under various ownership until eventual closure in 1983. In 1937 the Edward Turner designed Speed Twin launched a range of Triumph twins that epitomised British motorcycles. The layout survived in various engine sizes up to 750cc until the eventual closure of the factory in the early 1970s. Triumph staged a remarkable comeback in the 1990s with a range of new machines very much based on the spirit of bikes like the original Speed Twin.
On offer is a 1959 Triumph Speed Twin that was purchased by the current vendor way back in 1969 (some 56 years ago) as a mode of transport for work. The Triumph sat around for a short while before being put back into use, although it still hasn't seen much use in recent times. The Speed Twin will now require a general check-over before being placed back on the road again due to storage. It comes complete with a V5C, the old RF60 logbook and a Dating Certificate.
