1959 Triumph 5TA Speed Twin 500cc
Priced at SOLD. This superbly smart Triumph has been in the collection of a gentleman who is now cutting back on his collection & on whose behalf we are pleased to be able to offer a number of motorcycles. This particularly fine example under went a 'no expenses spared' restoration to bring it to a very high standard! The story behind this machine is that a previous owner, an old boy, scared himself badly on it one day. After this shock he put it in the shed where he left it for many years. When the bike finally came to light again it even had its original tool kit intact under the seat, where it still lives. The original buff logbook shows that the bike was first registered in Hertford on the 16th of April 1959. We are currently in the process of recovering the original registration number & obtaining a new V5C registration document from the DVLA.
