| 1922 Triumph SD Combination, 550cc |
 |
The SD (Spring Drive) was in fact
a somewhat modernised version of the
famous model H, which had grown out
of the Trusty veteran Triumph. By the
mid-twenties belt drive was losing its
appeal to many motorcyclists, so Triumph
designed a model with chain secondary
drive. The primary chain is protected
by a well-engineered aluminium case
and runs in an oil bath to minimize
maintenance of chain and clutch. The
powerful 550 cc engine (bore x stroke
=85x97) has lots of torque. The machine
is equipped with three speed Sturmey
Archer gearbox, 26x3 beaded edge tyres
and Bosch magneto. There are a full
acetylene lighting set and a rear view
mirror board. The stylish sidecar is
equipped with a windscreen. |
| 1923 Triumph Junior Baby 250cc |
 |
In 1913, a two-stroke, two speed,
two-stroke 225cc 'Junior' model specifically
for women is announced. It has a top
speed of 35 mph. It becomes known
as the 'Baby Triumph.' This is the
first new Triumph engine since 1910.
In 1915, the Cleveland Motorcycle
Company (USA) built a two-stroke Lightweight
which was almost an exact copy of
Triumph's Junior model, and continued
production of it until 1924. In 1916,
Excelsior (USA, owned by Schwinn)
built its own Junior clone under license,
the L18, upgrading the engine to 269cc.
A 269cc version of the Junior was
added by Triumph in 1920, and built
under license in Germany as well as
in USA.
In 1923, the Junior increased to
249cc and received a clutch and a
kickstart. (That's the model shown
here). |
| 1924 Triumph Ricardo, 500cc |
 |
The Triumph "Riccy" began to make
its appearance in the 1920s as a TT
racer, designed by Harry Ricardo. It
appeared in the standard production
range in 1922. The engine features a
4-valve head, cast iron cylinder, aluminium
piston and two exhaustports. Fitted
with an internal expanding front brake
and Druid forks, the Triumph "R" was
the Top-of-the-range model and is a
very sought after superbike. |
| 1925 Triumph SD, 550cc |
 |
|
| 1925 Triumph Model P |
 |
499cc. This is an example of Triumph's
famous Model P 494cc side valve single
that created a sensation when it was
introduced in 1925 at £42.16.6d,
thereby undercutting every other 500cc
model on the market. Despite its low
price, the model was equipped with a
3-speed, hand-operated gearbox and all
chain drive, as well as a carrier and
toolbox. |

|
| 1926 Triumph Model P |
 |
The difficult trading conditions of
the mid twenties prompted Triumph to
produce a machine that could under cut
its rivals on price whilst retaining
the excellent finish that had become
associated with the firm. Introduced
in 1925, the Model P succeeded in achieving
Triumph's aims, selling for £42
17s 6d, a figure that only BSA could
approach with their 493cc "3 ¢"
at £44. The new machine was entirely
conventional with a side valve engine,
three speeds and chain drive, although
the early contracting band front brake
was unusual and somewhat marginal in
performance, it was replaced when the
second batch of machines was produced,
the first 20,000 having been built at
the rate of a 1000 a week during 1925. |

1927 Triumph Model W
|
 |
Triumph introduced a number of
new models for the 1927 season, including
a two valve sports machine to replace
the 'Ricardo' and a sporting version
of the model P, typed the 'Q', for
those seeking less glamorous transport
there was a new single cylinder side
valve lightweight, the W. This machine
is most notable for its unusual displacement
of 277cc, adopted to maximise the
engine size whilst remaining in the
sub 220lbs tax bracket.

| 1928 Triumph NSD, 550cc |
 |
This 550cc side valve Triumph is a
real classic in the Triumph range. Bore
and Stroke are 84x99mm, 548,5cc. The
specification including: the well known
Triumph quality, 3-speed gearbox with
tankside quadrant, all-chain drive,
diamond type frame, shock absorber on
the engine shaft, high tension magneto,
dynamo and girder forks with central
tension spring and steering damper.
Tyres are 26x3,25 wired on. |
| 1927 Triumph N |
 |
The 500 4-stroke single-cylinder Model
H was produced by the Coventry firm
in large numbers before during and after
WW1. The Model R, with its 4-valve cylinder
head layout designed by Harry Ricardo,
was extremely innovative, Honda perfecting
the concept 40 years later. By the 1920s,
the Midland firm was co-operating with
the German Triumph factory at Nuremburg
and producing a variety of machines. |

 |
Designer Val Page came to Triumph
from Ariel in 1932. He designed an excellent
range of motorcycles, of which the 250
cc model was the lightest. Many parts
of this model were interchangeable with
those of the 350 and 500 cc models;
Page was a sincere believer in rationalization
in the production process of motorcycles.
The new range was introduced for the
1934 season. The 250 was a very good
motorcycle, but too expensive to make
and consequently unprofitable. It was
said that the company lost five pounds
on every two-fifty produced…
The machine had a unique integrally
forged flywheel and main shaft set up,
which made the engine very powerful
and reliable: the L 2/1 became a popular
competition machine. Bore and stroke
dimensions were 63x80 mm, identical
to the later Speed Twin model: one could
say that a Speed Twin was more or less
a double Light 250. Modern features
of the bike were dry sump lubrication
and a four-speed gearbox. Lighting is
by Lucas magdyno system. |

| 1951 Triumph Grand Prix, 498cc |
 |
The 1946 Senior Amateur Manx Grand
Prix race was won by Irish farmer
Ernie Lyons. He rode a hybrid Triumph
of which the engine had a Tiger 100
bottom-end assembly topped by the
square-finned silicon-light-alloy
cylinder block and head of a wartime
RAF Triumph generator plant. The rear
wheel incorporated a prototype Triumph
sprung hub. The Manx Grand Prix success
led to pressure upon Triumph to produce
an over-the-counter racing model based
on the Ernie Lyons machine. After
further racing development in the
hands of David Whitworth, the production
Triumph Grand Prix was announced in
February 1948. It remained in the
programme for a few years, in which
time some 250 machines were made.

form of a 650 sporting twin in a moderate

Blue Pearl is Yellow Peril's big
brother and was the last of three
bikes built by Bill Bragg in the early
sixties. It followed the same basic
layout as the earlier bikes except
that it had rear suspension to cope
with problems of bumpy tracks and
a super-charger to improve the power
output.
Even the innovator, Bragg, was among
the first to super-charge Triumph
twin engines, and the Allard Car Company
helped him to sort out the blower
set-up. The bike went on to record
11.19 seconds for the quarter mile,
very much on the pace for 1962.
Once again a 650cc Triumph engine
is used, driving through a Norton
gearbox and clutch. This super-charger
is a Shorrocks unit and the methane
fuel is fed through a hugh SU carb.

1963 Triumph Thruxton Evocation
|
 |
The example offered started life
as a 1963 Police specification 6T.
It was rebuilt using 1968 specification
forks with all new components and
damping as used on the 1968 to 1971
works machines, a 1968 rear subframe
and swinging arm and Falcon shock
absorbers. 19" wheel rims are
fitted, the rear being laced to a
quickly detachable BSA Spitfire rear
hub which enables a choice of sprockets.
The tool box, which compliments the
works type oil tank with cutaway,
has been made oil tight with breathers
and now performs the role of "catch
tank". A works replica alloy
seat and tank are fitted as is the
correct style of Avon fairing with
a detachable nose to accommodate the
headlight. Original new matched speedometer
and tachometer provide information
for the rider.
The engine was rebuilt by Andy Alexander
and utilises a new drive side crankcase,
new bearings throughout, stronger
connecting rods, and 10:1 compression
ratio pistons with modified skirts.
The head has new valve guides with
modern valve springs and has been
"nicely flowed" whilst "R"
type Thruxton camshafts with 3 inch
radius followers look after the timing.
The transmission features a close
ratio four speed gearbox and an alloy
clutch drum.

| 1964 Triumph Tina |
 |
The Triumph Tina was a small and
low performance 2 stroke scooter of
around 100 cc with automatic
clutch, and a handlebar carry basket
for bringing the groceries back from
a shopping trip.
In the 1960's, despite internal opposition
from those who felt it would dilute
the macho image of the brand, Triumph
produced two machines to tap into
a strong demand that had been identified
by Market Research for a simple and
easy to ride shopping basket vehicle.
An extensive marketing campaign was
carried out, fronted by a pop star
of the era, Cliff Richard, but despite
this the 'Triumph Tina' sold in small
numbers, and the similar Tricycle
(for those unsure of their ability
to balance) was even worse with only
10 to 15 sales. These machines had
absorbed a large amount of development
and marketing capital and when the
expected demand failed to materialise
both were quickly discontinued. |

The T100T variant of the Tiger
was named in honour of and benefited
from the company's success in the
500cc class at Daytona in 1966. It
represented the ultimate development
of the unit construction 500cc Triumph.
When Motor Cycle News tested an example
they recorded a top speed of 111 mph
and still managed to record 64 miles
to the gallon! Revisions to the standard
T100 engine which enabled these figures
to be achieved included the use of
a 9:1 compression ratio, splayed inlets
for the twin carburettors and Bonneville
profile camshafts.
