Property of a deceased's estate
c.1956 Triumph 650cc Thunderbird
Registration no. not registered
Frame no. 73264
Engine no. 6T 30871

Announced in September 1949, the 650 Thunderbird was Triumph's response to demands for more power emanating from American racers and British sidecarists alike. A spectacular launch stunt saw three Thunderbirds lap the Montlhery circuit at over 90mph for 500 miles, after which they each achieved a flying lap of 100mph-plus and were ridden back to the Meriden factory. An interesting change to the Thunderbird for 1952 was the adoption of an SU carburettor in place of the original Amal, a specially prepared machine managing a staggering 155mpg at a steady 30mph on a factory organised economy run. This incomplete Thunderbird consists of a 1952 engine in a 1956 frame. There are no documents with this Lot, which is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed.
