1963 Triumph 3TA, 348cc. Registration number LCL 840A. Frame number H32069, Engine number 3TA H13899 (V5C states 1113899).
Sold with the V5C, some old MOT's and receipts.
Triumph re-entered the 350 class in 1957 with the introduction of the Twenty One. Its arrival ushered in Triumph's unitary construction era, which saw the engine and gearbox, previously separate components, combined within a single structure, albeit one that retained a vertically split crankcase assembly. Readily distinguishable by its Shell Blue metallic finish and 'bathtub' rear enclosure - a feature later applied to Triumph's larger models - the newcomer was renamed '3TA' in September 1958. With just 18.5bhp on tap, Triumph's smallest twin lacked the urgent acceleration of its larger brethren, but nevertheless was a capable tourer good for around 80mph while delivering excellent fuel economy.
LCL has had an engine rebuild some 750 miles/4 years ago, and is stated to be a good runner but the front brakes are stuck on so some refreshing will be required.
