After the war the recovery of Triumph at Meriden was largely due to the Speed Twin, which was developed in 1946 with telescopic forks and optional sprung hub rear suspension. The headlamp and instrument area was tidied up in 1949 with a nacelle, a feature retained until the end of the model line. In 1953 the generator and magneto were replaced with a Lucas alternator and battery/coil ignition system. Further development led to the 1959 model 5TA with a unit engine and gearbox construction and styling changes including the 'Bathtub' fairing which became more and more abbreviated as the model developed before disappearing altogether for the last year of production in 1966.
The unit 500 engine continued development in the parallel Tiger 100 range ending with the Tiger Daytona models which ceased production in 1973
This is a 1962 Triumph 5TA Speed Twin. Finished in Maroon, this motobike is in fine fettle, and has been owned by a Motor Museum since 2007.
