1965 Triumph 3TA, 349cc. Registration number KHH 849C. Frame number H 37536. Engine number H 37536.
Sold with the V5C and a key.
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.
KHH is a matching numbers unrestored machine in a rare silver bronze (gold) colourway. This colour was only used for three years, 1963 - 65, it is believed only some 1756 were produced. It has been running recently but further recommissioning will be required.
