1935 Triumph 2/1, 249cc. Registration number BKX 197. Frame number SL771 (not found). Engine number 1-R4-529.

One of Val Page’s earliest Triumph designs, the Model 2/1 was originally intended as a straightforward entry-level motorcycle. However, it turned out to be more costly to manufacture than expected. The model numbering system for the 1934 line-up lacked excitement, with the first number denoting engine capacity, and the second representing the model’s position within the range. For example, the 2/1 was the introductory model in the 250cc range, while the 2/5 occupied the top tier.
Owned since 1978, this particular machine has been thoroughly loved by our vendor and he has undertaken many personal touches, like the none standard red and white paint, home made tool box, polished brass finish. He is now of an age where he has decided to give up riding and hopes the next custodian enjoys the bike as much as he has done.
