A happy marriage of Triumph power and Norton roadholding, courtesy of the latter's peerless Featherbed frame, the Triton is rightly regarded by enthusiasts as the quintessential British sports special. This hybrid first emerged in the 1950s and continues to be built by professionals and amateurs alike, enjoying marque status today. Purchased in December 1976, the example offered here incorporates the frame from a 1958 Norton Model 50; a pre-unit Triumph Tiger 110 engine; and an AMC gearbox. Other notable features include an eight-stud cylinder head; twin Amal Monobloc carburettors; and a Suzuki front brake. The headlight and instruments are missing. Offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed, the machine comes with an old-style continuation logbook and an old-style V5. It should be noted that the frame number is obscured, but is recorded in the V5 as 'N13 76219'.
