The CTT first appeared at the end of the 1920s, and was marketed as Triumph’s top of the range sports motorcycle of the time. These days surviving examples of the CTT are rare and it offers the enthusiast something very interesting amongst the plethora of pre-war Triumphs.

The 1929 Triumph CTT on offer, was purchased by the current owner as an addition to his Triumph collection. Restored to a very good standard around 7 years ago, it has been enjoyed by the previous owner until the current vendor purchased it. Not run for a couple of years, it will require some light recommissioning before use. A fast and very usable Vintage machine for many VMCC events in the future. It is offered with a V5C.

1919 Triumph Model H

MOT: Exempt

• Part of a collection of Triumph motorcycles

• Owned for the last ten years

• An older restoration

By the outbreak of the Great War, Triumph’s reputation for quality and reliability was well established, At the start of the First World War in 1914 the British Government needed effective communications with front line troops and replaced messengers on horses with despatch riders on motorcycles.

A number of models were tested for suitability and the Triumph Model H was selected. With the rear wheel driven by a belt, the Model H was fitted with a 499cc air-cooled four-stroke single-cylinder engine. It was also the first Triumph not to be fitted with pedals, so was a true motorcycle.

The current owner purchased this 1919 Triumph Model H to go into his collection of Triumph motorcycles. Purchased as a restored example, it has had little use since. The Triumph will need light recommissioning before placing back on the road. It is offered with a current V5C.
