Just as he had done at Ariel in the 1920s, Val Page transformed his employer's ageing range on his arrival at Triumph as Chief Designer in 1932. The new line-up comprised overhead-valve and sidevalve singles in capacities ranging from 250cc to 500cc, plus the range-topping 650cc 6/1 sidecar tug. Endowed with distinctive timing covers for the magneto gear drive - a feature Page would employ at BSA later in the decade - the engines were simple yet robust in construction and amenable to a fair degree of tuning in the case of the overhead-valve units. A near top-of-the-range model produced between 1937 and 1939, this incomplete 5H De Luxe is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed (the engine does not turn). The machine was purchased from Brian Verrall in March 1977.
