Triumph re-entered the '350' class in 1957 with the introduction of the 'Twenty One', its arrival ushering in Triumph's unitary construction era. The model took its name from the engine's approximate cubic capacity in inches. Readily distinguishable by its Shell Blue metallic finish and 'bathtub' rear enclosure - a feature later applied to Triumph's larger models - the newcomer was renamed '3TA' in September 1958. With just 18.5bhp on tap, Triumph's smallest twin lacked the urgent acceleration of its larger brethren but nevertheless was a capable tourer good for around 80mph while delivering excellent fuel economy. This incomplete and distressed Twenty One was last taxed in 1972 and purchased in May 1974. Offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed, the machine comes with an old-style continuation logbook and an old V5.
