1934 Triumph 148cc Model XV/1
Registration no. FK 6006
Frame no. 2678
Engine no. 6551

First registered on 9th March 1934, this rare Villiers-engined Triumph two-stroke was owned from new by one Kenneth Harrison of Worcester, who worked in the Worcester City Vehicle Taxation Office; the accompanying original and continuation logbooks and tax discs are in his own handwriting. The Triumph was used by Mr Harrison until 1942 and last taxed in 1945 and 1948; petrol was rationed at the time and it is believed licensing was only done to obtain extra for the owner's car! The machine was used locally and for occasional longer journeys to the seaside. Subsequently it was kept in a summerhouse/shed for over 30 years until ownership passed to our vendor in 1977. In 1977/78 the machine was stripped and dismantled and the frame re-enamelled, metalwork re-chromed, and fuel tank lined. It was then reassembled, the engine recommissioned to running order, and new tyres fitted. The motorcycle has been unused and dry stored since then; it is currently a non-runner requiring recommissioning and thus is sold strictly as viewed. The machine is offered with various instruction manuals; a 1934 Triumph brochure; a guarantee; and a parts catalogue. Also included in the sale is a pair of leg shields; a luggage rack and pillion pad; and the tool kit in its original roll. The registration 'FK 6006' is recorded in the HPI database.
