1972 Triumph 490cc T100R Daytona
Registration no. CTV 112K
Frame no. T100R GG59601
Engine no. T100R GG59601
This T100R Daytona was exported new to Lagos, Nigeria in July '72. It was delivered to Brunchenweilder, the main Triumph distributors for Africa. The Daytona was part of a batch of 50 machines supplied under a government contract (probably for use by the military or police). The motorcycle was later imported into Ireland where it was registered 'LY 5811'. In 1992 it was brought to the UK and given the age-related registration 'CTV 112K'. Our vendor purchased the T100R at Brooks' Stafford sale in October in 1997 (Lot 249). It has several unusual features including folding rider's footrests and a strengthened Dunlop rear wheel for off-road use (only fitted to T100C models). The machine is painted in its original green and silver colour scheme, representing the Nigerian national colours (the UK model would have been Cherry Red and white.) The following works have been carried out: new indicators fitted (1997); engine rebuilt and unleaded conversion (2000); gearbox rebuilds using new-old-stock from Triumph specialist Mark Spares (2001 and 2005); speedometer rebuilds by specialist A Popple (2001 and 2002); clutch rebuilt (2002); engine rebuilt using new-old-stock parts from Triumph specialists; new Amal 626 carburettors fitted (2005). The vendor has used the Triumph for road runs, rallies and shows; it was last ridden circa 2013/2014 and benefits from a new battery (supplied). Offered with a dating letter, sundry bills, expired MoTs and tax discs, and copy/current V5/V5C documents.
