1965 Triumph 349cc 3TA/Twenty One Frame no. 3TA H37556 Engine no. 3TA H37556W

1965 Triumph 349cc 3TA/Twenty One Registration no. CFX 483C Frame no. 3TA H37556 Engine no. 3TA H37556W Triumph re-entered the 350 class in 1957 with the introduction of the Twenty One. Its arrival ushered in Triumph's unitary construction era, which saw the engine and gearbox, previously separate components, combined within a single structure. Readily distinguishable by its Shell Blue metallic finish and 'bathtub' rear enclosure - a feature later applied to Triumph's larger models - the newcomer was later renamed '3TA'. 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. Purchased by the vendor in March 2008, this 3TA has been dry stored since acquisition and will require recommissioning before returning to the road (the engine turns over). Accompanying documentation consists of a V5C and some expired MoTs.
