P&M Triumph 'Rob North' 930cc Racing Motorcycle
Frame no. TE109
Engine no. T160 KK06008

• Built by Peckett & McNab (P&M)
• Miles Engineering frame
• P&M race-tuned Triumph T160 engine
• Machine fully rebuilt by Richard Peckett circa three years ago
• Little used since the rebuild

The stunning classic racer offered here was built by renowned specialists Peckett and McNab using a Rob North-type frame made by Miles Engineering. Formerly raced by Tim Woolly of Three Bears Racing, the machine was purchased by the private vendor around three years ago just after it had been fully rebuilt in 2016 by Richard Peckett at considerable cost. Since then the machine has been used at a handful of classic events: at Cadwell Park and Donington Park in the UK and at Lurcy-Lévis and Circuit Carole, Paris in France. There have been only four track-day outings since Richard Peckett rebuilt the fully lightened and balanced engine at a cost of £13,000. The machine was last run earlier this year.

This vendor describes this exciting motorcycle as 'incredibly fast and easy to ride with lots of torque and bags of power'. It is said to be very reliable and to start easily using the integral lightweight electric starter. Currently fitted with flat handlebars, the machine could be retro fitted with clip-ons and a fairing if required.
