1959 Triumph 3TA, 348 cc. Registration number 891 UYN (non transferable). Frame number 3TA H6036. Engine number 3TA H32632 (see text).
Triumph re-entered the '350' class in 1957 with the introduction of the 'Twenty One', its arrival ushering in Triumph's unitary construction era. Also known as the '3TA', the newcomer was readily distinguishable by its Shell Blue metallic finish and 'bathtub' rear enclosure, a feature later applied to Triumph's larger models. With only 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.
This example was first registered on the 2nd January 1959 and nothing is known of its early life. Registered again with DVLA in November 2015, it has had the bathtub panels removed as was common with many back in the day. Our vendor bought it from an elderly friend in 2018 but does not use it.
Sold with the V5C, please note that DVLA have misread the engine number of H32682 as H32632 on the V5C.
