Triumph's famous 3½hp model first appeared in 1907. Originally of 453cc, its sidevalve engine was progressively enlarged before being superseded by the 549cc (4hp) model in 1914. Equipped with three-speed Sturmey-Archer gearbox, it was Triumph's revised 4hp - the Model H - that did such sterling service in WWI, some 30,000 'Trusty Triumphs' seeing action with Allied forces. Up-dated with chain final drive for 1920, it became known as the 'SD' (Spring Drive) because of its clutch-mounted coil-spring shock absorber, and formed the basis of various subsequent models including the CSD and four-valve Ricardo.
The vendor inherited this CSD and therefore its history is unknown. Last run in August 2018, the machine will require re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent and thus is sold strictly as viewed. Prospective bidders should satisfy themselves with regard to the motorcycle's completeness, originality, and mechanical condition prior to bidding. Offered with V5C. Key not required.
