The first Triumph motorcycle of 1902 used a Belgian Minerva engine but within a few years the Coventry firm - originally a bicycle manufacturer founded by German immigrants Siegfried Bettman and Maurice Schulte - was building its own power units. The first of these - a 298cc single-cylinder sidevalve - arrived in 1904. This first engine was not without its weaknesses, and the curious 'tandem down-tube' frame in which it was installed often broke, but these shortcomings were soon sorted and within a couple of years 'Triumph' was a byword for reliability. Introduced in 1914 together with famous 4hp Model H, one of Triumph's new models was the Junior, a 225cc two-stroke single. Weighing only 129lb, the Junior featured chain-cum-belt transmission and a two-speed gearbox - the latter being an unusual feature among contemporary lightweights - but there was no clutch and the machine was push-started. Known as the 'Baby' Triumph by the motorcycling public, the Junior resumed production after The Great War and was last catalogued for 1922. There are no documents with this Triumph Junior.
