  1956 Triumph 5T Speed Twin
  Engine No: ST74014, Frame No: 74014, Odometer: 29561mls. Condition: Very Good. Documents: Bill of Sale, NZ Biosecurity Clearance
• Notes:
  The Speed Twin 5T was made by Triumph at their Coventry and later Meriden factories in a production run from 1938-1940 and then 1947-1966. The break in production due to German bombing of Coventry in 1940 wiping out the factory while manufacturing military spec 5T’s. With a 500cc OHV vertical twin in a lightweight frame, this became the standard by which all other British marques based their 500cc twin lines. After the war it was the success of the T5 upon which Triumph recovered and it the T5 was gradually improved over its production run with enhanced telescopic suspension in 1946 and the then controversial Lucas alternator and battery coil system in 1953! This example is running but requires a new battery.
