Proprietor of Dresda Autos, Dave Degens was one of the first special-builders to put the Triton into what might be termed 'limited production'. Riding one of his own creations, Degens won the prestigious Barcelona 24-Hour Endurance Race in 1965, defeating many works-entered bikes in the process, and went on to develop his own Featherbed-derived frame to take power units other than the original Triumph. Using the new Dresda frame and a 650cc Triumph engine, he won in Barcelona, for the second time, in 1970 and this versatile chassis would later accommodate all manner of multi-cylinder engines from Japan. Wrapped around a four-cylinder Honda motor, Degens' chassis again demonstrated its superiority on the racetrack when Japauto's entry won the 1972 Bol d'Or 24-hour race at Le Mans.
This Dredsa-Honda was stripped for refurbishment in 2018: the frame stove enamelled; and new tyres fitted. The seat, fuel tank and front mudguard are loose, and the exhaust system is missing. Thus the machine is offered as a project in need of completion and sold strictly as viewed. Notable features include Koni shock absorbers; Keihin carburettors; and a box-section swinging arm. Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's completeness, originality and mechanical condition prior to bidding. There are no documents with this Lot. Keys present.
