1947 Triumph 3T DELUXE TWIN

Description: 1947 TRIUMPH 3T Deluxe Sport Twin - Frame off Restoration - Ridding & Running! British Registration no. KKJ 878 Frame no. TC 7680 Engine no. 3T 91303 Triumph's first 350cc vertical twin had been built for military purposes in wartime, and would form the basis for a civilian version when hostilities ceased. The basic engine design followed that laid down pre-war by Edward Turner for the trend-setting Speed Twin, but featured rocker boxes incorporated into the cylinder head casting and a built-up crankshaft with one piece connecting rods like the military 3TW. The running gear was essentially that of the Speed Twin and featured Triumph's new telescopic front fork. Lower geared than its 500cc sibling, the 3T was nevertheless capable of reaching 75mph and could return around 80mpg. Unlike the later unitary construction 3TA 350, the 3T possessed a measure of the low-down 'grunt' associated with Triumph's larger vertical twins and as a result is arguably a much more pleasant and characterful machine to ride. The restoration of this particular 3T was the subject of a 4-page article in Classic Motorcycling Legends magazine (Autumn 1995 issue, copy available) written by Bonhams' consultant David Hawtin, no less. At that time the machine belonged to Len Coombs, an enthusiastic collector and restorer, who had purchased it at an auction in Colchester, England in 1993. When Ken Sizer acquired the Triumph in April 2005, England, it had covered only a few hundred miles since a full nut & Bolt restoration and remains in good running and excellent show condition. Purchased at The Mecum Motorcycle Auction in January 2015 Las Vegas for 9500 on a "Bill of Sale", and is for sale by it current owner. Bike is located in Flagstaff, Arizona. In production from 1946-51 and never built in huge numbers, a 3T is a rare sight today, especially in the U.S. This 1947 model is a beautiful older restoration that was housed in a private collection for many years. Recent $3900 invoice spent at "Competition Cycles" in Stanford CT, freshening up and is ready to ride the street. SHIPPING: Buyer pays shipping.
