Description

Genuine 1955 Triumph T100R flat track racer. This bike was built on 11/4/54 and sent to Johnson Motors on 11/19/54. These T100R racers were available through a special order program with triumph dealers. A rider would submit a resume and a request to purchase one. If they were approved then they could purchase and race on of these motorcycles. This model was built in limited quantities and supplied only in competition trim. The T100rR came ready to race. equipped with many of the parts from the Triumph racing kit. This included upgrades such as dual carburetors. a tachometer drive in place of the generator. racing megaphones. a different cam. and a spool front wheel. This particular T100R (59066). was purchased in a large collection of motorcycles and parts. The previous owner spent years slowly working on it. It has been undergone a partial amateur restoration. The motor was built by Jack Wilson at Big D Cycle sometime in the 1990?ˆ™s but never ran. We would like to disclose that this bike will need a lot of sorting. Every aspect of it should be checked over. The front hub on this motorcycle is the incorrect type. one of the megaphones is also incorrect. It is missing the correct type float bowl. The Volkes dual air filter was recently made from two single carb Volkes air filters. This bike will ship with the few small extra parts pictured. This is not the complete package. but it is a numbers matching genuine T100R that is mostly there. The two motor case halves are matching. There is damage to the paint of the rear fender. There are incorrect type fasteners throughout the bike. Needs a good sorting by a knowledgeable enthusiast/technician. There is no title for this motorcycle. It was sold for competition use only. It was never intended for road use. Exporting this motorcycle without a title will be difficult. Please keep that in mind before placing an overseas bid. Below you will find a scan of the works record for this motorcycle from the VMCC in England. This bike is verified to be a genuine T100R. and has the correct number gearbox on it. We do not have any verified racing history for this motorcycle. We were told that it was supposedly sold by Dalio?ˆ™s cycle in Ft. Worth. BUT WE HAVE NO WAY OF CONFIRMING THAT. The photographs accurately display the condition of this T100R. It is a project. but a great starting point.
