1959 Triumph 5TA Speed Twin, 500cc. Registration number 418 GKE (non transferrable). Frame number 5TA H9514. Engine number 5TA H9514.
Sold with the V5C, and VE60.
The 5TA Speed Twin was the second of Triumph's new family of unitary construction vertical twins, joining the 350 cc Twenty One/3TA launched the previous year. The 500 closely followed the lines of its 350 predecessor, there being little to distinguish it mechanically apart from a larger bore, raised gearing and larger-section rear tyre. Over the years the bodywork shrank until the model was discontinued in 1967.
By 1967 GKE was with Maurice Cuddington of Maidstone, followed by Tom Marsh of Tankerton and he then moved to Hampshire in 1976. By 1992 it was re-registered with DVLA, using the original number, now non Transferrable. In 2021 Gary White was the owner.
Sold with the V5C, and VE60.
