Description:
1925 Triumph Motorcycle 500cc Like many of the Coventry makes, Triumph had their roots in the bicycle industry in 1902. In 1908, they won the single cylinder class in the Tt racers, the machine being powered by a 500cc engine designed by one of the German founders of the firm, Maurice Schulte. This is an example of Triumphs famous Model P 494cc side valve single that created a sensation when it was introduced in 1925. It was equipped with a 3 speed hand operated gearbox and all chain drive, as well as a carrier and toolbox. A barn find down south many years ago challenge the owner to restore in 1960. Has not been ridden for many years and is in need of a new enthusiast to continue turning heads. Collectors Cars, Motorcycle & Memorabilia 12
