Triumph 3TA
Recently restored and rebuilt matching numbers 350cc twin.
Originally a bathtub machine but restored to look good without that huge item of tinware, the restorer sensibley left the brackets intact so it could be reinstated at a later date. This is a matching numbers machine that has had a lot of money thrown at it and it looks all the better for that. The engine needed some attention to make it work as good as it looks, and lots of new parts in the right places and time setting it up correctly has paid dividends, as you can hear. It has the later timing side points conversion which is a bonus. She now starts easily and runs nicely, feeling really good on the road and sounding crisp through the new two-into-one exhaust. After running in this is going to be a lovely ride as well as a looker, and the extra power of the upgraded TLS front brake will be appreciated with regular use. Not all original of course and not a lot of history but it is a matching numbers machine in excellent restored condition with a recently refreshed engine fettled to perfection with a new carburettor.
