Dear Sheldon's EMU
Was wondering if you could assist me with some information.
Have recently bought a Triumph CN 500 1929 to restore, currently a basket case, about 65% complete. Firstly do you know if it is only the CN and CSD that have interchangeable part with the exception of engine and gear box. Also are you able to tell me what type of carburetor is used on this bike.
Appreciate your time and any information you are able to provide.
Regards
Darryl Currently this is all we have: Triumph CN 500cc
Perhaps one of our readers can add more.
Ed.

Hello,
I am writing in hope that you can assist me with tracking down a complete clutch/breakdown/parts list for a model H Sturmey Archer CS 3 speed gear box as this is the last component required for my restoration?
I believe that picture 2 are the components required?
Picture 3 is my current set up.

Triumph Tigress 250 (four stroke twin-electric start) 1960
Are you able to assist with specifications relating to the light bulbs used on this motor scooter? My Brother is preparing to return my Father's scooter (1960 Triumph Tigress - four stroke parallel twin with electric starter) to service and I am assisting in trying to source some of the consumables.

Hello, I have - what I think is - a reproduction of the poster you also show on your website.
Any idea about the value ?
Thanks for your kind reply.

Beringen, Belgium A secondhand reproduction would be worth perhaps half the price of a new one. Search on "Triumph Poster 1920s".

1925 Triumph P Series
Hi. I noticed one of your Triumph picture mentions it is believed to be a 1927 Triumph QA. It is in fact an early 1925 P Series Triumph. There are four giveaways.
1. The QA did not have inverted brake levers that fit in the ends of the handlebars, they instead had brakes levers that clamped to the handle bars.
2. The very early 1925 P Series had the external band brake, as seen in your picture, before moving to a drum brake later in 1925. The external band brake was no longer used after this.
3. The front forks are the Druid style typical of the P Series, as seen in your picture, before moving to the Webb style from the Model N onwards.
4. The P Series rear brake was a friction block that rubbed against a large rim attached to the wheel, as seen in your photo, the QA had a drum brake.
Regards,
Kieran Hatherly

Many thanks, Keiran. The image (previously Triumph-1927-QA-500cc-SCA.jpg) has been renamed and moved to the 1925 gallery.

Triumpf NSD 1931
Hello, I just got a Triumpf 550 NSD, built in 1931. A part is missing on the crankshaft in front of the oil pump drive. Presumably to get the oil into the crankshaft. How does it look like? And looking for the front and rear wheels for Triumpf 5/1, 1934.Tank and engine are available. Possibly for sale.
Greetings Jürgen

Some brief notes on the 550 NSD here: 1929 Triumph Models

I have been told that it is possible to get information about the original buyer of a motorcycle. Mine came to the US from Egypt where it is rumored, it was used by the Egyptian Postal Service. Would their be records of a purchase such as this?

350ccm 3H or 3HW
Dear Sir or Madam,

I have bought a Triumpf to 3H or 3HW from England.
This has no papers.

Can they say me about this machine what?

The engine number is 62497
The chassis number is 52457

The machine is built presumably between 1939 and 1946.
On the Internet none of these numbers is to be found.

Maybe they have also a contact for me

Many thanks for your help (aid).

With friendly ones
Germany

  • Are your rocker boxes separate, or integral with the cylinder head casting? This will help identify the model.
    Images showing the cylinder head area, along with shots of the frame and engine numbers will also help.
    Serial Numbers: Engine Numbers and Frame Numbers
    The machine is most likely a 3HW from the war years. The engine and frame numbers do not match any found. The engine and frame numbers need careful study, and may not be original. Clearer images of both will possibly reveal more. Did you buy it privately, or from a dealer?
