This 1916 Triumph Model H was acquired by the lady vendor's late father in September 1957, and was last ridden by him on the Sunbeam Club's 12th Annual Veteran and Vintage Rally at Beaulieu in 1958. After the Triumph's last outing it remained stored in the owner's parents' garage, and over the years its condition deteriorated. It was the owner's wish that on his retirement at the age of 65, he would undertake its restoration. Sadly, five months after his 65th birthday he passed away suddenly. The family carried out his wish and had the Triumph fully restored by Sammy Miller Motorcycles (bill on file). It was ridden by the lady vendor's husband on the day of its collection in 2005 but has not been used since, being kept in the vendor's mother's front room, and the family has decided that it is time it had a new lease of life. Should the machine be sold, they would like to be kept informed of its fate. Accompanying documentation consists of photographs taken prior to the restoration; a copy of the Sunbeam Club's 1958 rally programme; an old-style logbook (1957); Roy Poynting letter of authenticity; and an old-style V5C Registration Certificate.
