Built for military purposes in wartime, Triumph's first 350cc vertical twin would form the basis for the civilian 3T when hostilities ceased. The basic engine design followed that laid down pre-war by Edward Turner for the trend-setting Speed Twin, although with detail differences, while the running gear was essentially Speed Twin and featured Triumph's new telescopic front fork. Unlike the later 'unit' 350, the 3T possessed a measure of the low-down 'grunt' associated with Triumph's larger vertical twins and is arguably a much more pleasant machine to ride as a result.
This 3T was acquired by the present registered keeper in 1994. The machine was ridden and maintained until 2010, since when it has been stored. Re-commissioning and the customary safety checks will be required before returning it to the road. Accompanying documentation consists of an old-style logbook, petrol rationing coupons, and a V5C Registration Certificate.
