When Triumph adopted unitary construction for its vertical twins, the 5TA Speed Twin would be the second model of this new family, joining the 350cc Twenty One (also known as the 3TA) launched the previous year. The 5TA closely followed the lines of its '350' predecessor, there being little to distinguish it mechanically apart from a larger bore, raised gearing, and larger-section rear tyre. The controversial 'bathtub' rear enclosure introduced on the Twenty One was retained, and the Speed Twin came finished in the model's traditional Amaranth Red colour scheme. Purchased in 1979, this incomplete 5TA is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed. There are no documents with this Lot. It should be noted the VRN '466 ERL' does not appear on the HPI/DVLA database. Accordingly prospective bidders must satisfy themselves as to the validity of the VRN prior to bidding.
