Unveiled at the Cologne Show in the autumn of 1990, the born-again Triumph range consisted of three- and four-cylinder models named after iconic models of the past: Daytona, Trophy, and Trident. The most sporting of these were the Daytonas. Introduced in 1994, the limited-edition Super III was Triumph's attempt to elevate the Daytona's performance to a point where it could challenge the Japanese opposition. Cosworth were recruited to provide the required power increase, raising maximum output of the 885cc three-cylinder engine to 118bhp (up from 98). A liberal application of carbon fibre knocked a couple of pounds of the weight, while the Super III's six-piston 'brick wall' brakes received copious praise. Now, some 25 years later, these early Hinckley Triumphs are becoming increasingly collectible, and none more so than the limited-edition Super III. This Daytona Super III was sold new in Ohio, USA and comes with copies of the original bill of sale and 1999 Ohio Certificate of Title. In April 2000 the original owner imported the Triumph into the UK where it was registered as 'N468 JLX'. Additional documentation consists of SORN paperwork; some MoTs (most recent expired 2007); V5C New Keeper Supplement; and the service booklet stamped on four occasions, most recently in June 2005 at 9,016 miles (current reading 10,468 miles). The machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding.
