1928 Triumph Super Seven two seater de Luxe, 832cc. Registration number WW 5202. Chassis number 5282. Engine number 5292. The Triumph Motor Company of Priory Street, Coventry, produced its first car in 1923. The Super Seven, produced between 1927 and 1932, was their third model, designed by Arthur Sykes late of Lea Francis, and Stanley Edge who had assisted Herbert Austin in designing the Seven, and was targeted at the quality economy slot previously filled by Humber and Talbot. Launched in 1927 it had a 832 c.c. side-valve engine with a three bearing crankshaft, mated to a three speed gearbox. It had hydraulic brakes on all four wheels and a transmission handbrake, with a worm drive axle. The 81ins wheelbase frame had semi-elliptics at the front, quarter elliptics at the rear, the wheels could be either artillery or wire. With a top speed of 53 m.p.h. it could cruise at 40 m.p.h. and return fuel consumption rates of 35 to 40 m.p.g. During the long production run many body styles were offered including; 4-Seater Tourer, 2/4-Seater Tourer, Super-Charged Sports, 2-Seater Gnat, Coachbuilt Saloons, Fabric Saloons, 2-Seater Fixed Head Coupe, Close Coupled Saloon Landaulette, Tickford Sunshine Saloon and 4-Door Pillarless Saloon. Prices varied from £149 10s for a 1927 Popular Tourer to £198 for a 1931 Tickford Sunshine Saloon. It is estimated that just under 15,000 Super Sevens were produced with many being exported to Australia in ‘rolling chassis’ form and some 158 are believed surviving. A supercharged model with a smaller 747cc engine was also available from 1929-30 which could hit 80mph. It was replaced by the Super Eight, a rebadged Super Seven, with the addition of wire wheels, the option of a 4-speed gearbox and bumpers fitted as standard. WW was first registered in Leeds on the 24th March 1928 and its early history is unknown. In 1960 it was photographed at a rally by persons unknown. It was sold by Alec Fenby in June 1998 to our vendors father. He was a retired engineer and started work on getting it mobile again, the brakes were stripped and new pads obtained, the carb was removed and a similar example obtained. Unfortunately the project stalled and it remained partially stripped until our vendor inherited it in 2002. It has remained in the same condition for his tenure. Now being sold as the storage facility is no available, it is sold with the V5C, V5 and receipt from Fenby. The Pre 1940 Triumph Motor Club would be very happy to welcome the new custodian to its ranks

1970/2009 Triton 750cc. Registration number LFE 470H. Frame number P148134. Engine number T140V DX06879. A happy marriage of Triumph power and Norton roadholding, courtesy of the latter's peerless Featherbed frame, the Triton is rightly regarded by enthusiasts as the quintessential British sports special. This hybrid first emerged in the 1950s and continues to be built by professionals and amateurs alike, enjoying marque status today. One of the first specials-builders to put the Triton into what might be termed 'limited production' was Dave Degens, proprietor of Dresda Autos. Riding one of his own Dresda Tritons, Degens won the prestigious Barcelona 24-Hour Endurance Race in 1965, defeating many works-entered bikes in the process, and went on to develop his own Featherbed-derived frame to take power units other than the original Triumph. The T140 750 cc was the second generation in the Bonneville series developed from the earlier 650 cc T120 Bonneville and was produced by Triumph in a number of versions, including limited editions, from 1973 until 1983 when the company was declared bankrupt. Licensed production of the T140 Bonneville was continued by Les Harris between 1985 and 1988 at Newton Abbot in Devon, these machines became known as 'Harris' or 'Devon' Bonnevilles. LFE sports a Triumph Bonneville T140 engine from 1978, mated to a Norton Model 99 Wideline Featherbed frame from 1959. The DVLA V5 has a declared manufactured date of 1970, on file is a report on the 1985 MCN Classic show where the then owner, Dave Waring, won Best Triton from a field of 26 machines. In 1992 it was acquired by Michael Steer of Rotherham, he is believed to have raced it at this time. The 2000 MOT states a mileage of 20,353, which remained the same over the following two years. In 2002 he sold it to our vendor who upgraded to what you see today. In 2009 a full engine rebuild by Nova Classics took place and a phosphor swinging arm, belt drive, electronic ignition, hand made tanks and Laverda running gear was used. Basically unused since the build, it is sold with the V5C, V5, old MOT's, photographs, MCM report and receipts for the engine build.
