Triumph Motorcycles Model N 1927
A landmark machine in the development of the motorcycle in Britain.
Triumph’s Model P debuted at the 1924 Motor Cycle Show with no frills side valve engine model, the newcomer was priced at £42.17s which undercut every other 500cc machine then on the market. Production was soon running at an astonishing 1,000 machines per week. The model P’s success undoubtedly hastened the demise of many a minor manufacturer. Production continued until the end of the decade by which time the model P had spawned a plethora of derivatives, models N, Q and QA among them.
This superbly presented Triumph Model N had a total restoration in 2000 when all paintwork was refinished, plated parts renickled, the saddle recovered, engine rebuilt, new chains and tyre/tubes fitted and the magneto professionally reconditioned. Since the rebuild it has only been used for a couple of Club runs, covering fewer than 500 miles (with its previous owner).
