Legendary 1935 model 5/10 racer. Probably rarest production Triumph ever. Anybody seen a real one?

1935 model 6/1. Strange early 650 twin. Superb quality and good torquey engine. Quite a few survive

1935 model 5/5. Handsome forerunner to Tiger 90. We'll never know how good they really looked as it's impossible to restore 100%

1937 3H. Even this budget model was fast, good handling and excellent quality

1937 Tiger 90 Heenan and Froud power curve graph

1937 6S. Probably outsold all other models. Thousands went overseas, mainly Australia.

First Speed Twin. Nothing new left to say about this machine. Fantastic bike that will still ride OK today after over eighty years

All three Tiger singles were available as special order competition models with bespoke spec.

1938 Tiger 90. Most were modified and ridden to destruction in local club events so few survive

1939 Tiger 80. Light, fast, pretty. Lovely little bike

1939 Tiger 100. All time best looker? Everybody wants one.

1939 5H. Last year for the big ohv single, basically a Tiger 90 with a flat top piston.

1946 3T. One of three 350s in the post war catalogue.

1946 Tiger 85. Sporty 3T. Not many made although it was catalogued for 1946 and 1947.

1946 3H. Early post-war civilian version of wartime 3HW, still wearing girder forks

1947 Speed Twin. Softer engine, tele forks. Nearly twice the price of pre war version

1947 Tiger 100. Most were exported and you could wait nearly a year for a new one in UK

1949 Tiger 100. Interim models still with chrome tanks but new nacelles.

1949 TR5. Suddenly Triumph start making really exciting new bikes again. Grand Prix, TR5 and Thunderbird all in a couple of years!

Rare flyer for Grand Prix model. These two competition bikes (GP & TR5) weren't listed in the main catalogue but were loose inserts

1950 6T Thunderbird. My favourite post-war Triumph, and if you had to have just one Triumph, this is it! Perfect all rounder.

Price list for 1950. The government required 'purchase tax' making all new bikes a luxury

1951 Tiger 100. Engine was a bit fragile but looked fantastic. Cost £14 more than the Thunderbird.

1952 5T, T100 & 6T in their highly recognisable signature colours which were to stay the same for many years.
