The Velocette Thruxton was a sporting motorcycle produced by Velocette between 1965 and 1971. Revealed at the 1964 Earls Court Show, it was the final development of Velocette’s antiquated pushrod single, the Venom. Sometimes referred to as the Venom Thruxton or simply Thruxton, some surviving examples could be ‘upgraded’ replicas based on the Venom or Viper, as many parts in the range were interchangeable. Due to the high values involved and possibility of fakes, a register was established by a member of the Velocette Owners Club.

Triumph is one of the most iconic and revered names in the history of motorcycling. Established in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made their first motorcycle beginning a continuous run of production under various ownership until its eventual closure in 1983. In 1937 the Edward Turner-designed Speed Twin was released launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomize British motorcycles in the post-war years. The 350cc 3TA was the first unit construction twin from the Meridan factory and was more generally called the ‘21’, possibly to celebrate 21 years since the formation of Robert Sangsters Triumph Engineering Co, they also became known as ‘Bathtubs’ due to the distinctive fully enclosed rear end.
Restored many years ago to a good standard, and now with some signs of use, this Triumph 21 ‘Bathtub’ is an ideal lightweight machine to ride or take to shows. We have been advised that it is running well and still retains its original registration number. It comes complete with a current V5C.
