This stunning outfit has belonged to the vendor since 2006 when he bought it from Dave Langston, brother of the famous Ron Langston. Dave had owned it since July 1975 and restored it to a very high standard. In the current ownership it has benefitted from a new clutch, clutch cage, and primary chain. Other than this it has needed only routine maintenance. The vendor thinks that the displayed mileage of 16,723 may well be the total from new, and describes the outfit's condition as being "very good" in every respect. The Triumph is being offered for sale with great regret, and only because of his advancing years. Ridden recently, it is supplied with a V5C and two old log books, one of which is the original from 28.4.1960. Prospective bidders should satisfy themselves as to the motorcycle's mechanical condition.
