Despatched To Alan Taylor's Of Middleton Oldham Manchester In January 1961
This Bike is the last of six bikes that came in from a deceased estate
This Triumph had not ran in many years looking down the spark plug holes it looks like the previous deceased owner had the top end apart as the pistons look brand new.
There where a few parts missing like the chainguard petrol tank strap & front mudguard stay I have purchased these & fitted them.
The previous owner I was told by his daughter & son-in-law had been working on it when he unfortunatly became ill & passed away before finishing it off.
I fitted new fuel taps & fuel pipes & a battery & it started up pretty much straight away
The engine sounds good I rode down the road to check the gears clutch & brakes worked which they do although in honesty the front brake is not the best
I am selling this as an ongoing small project which may require some more recommissioning & further improvements should the new owner wish
This is not a concours motorcycle but is generally tidy & complete
