1958 Triumph T100C / T100SC replica, excellent runner, very pretty

1958 Triumph T100C style 500cc “street scrambler” Here is a very nicely restored unit Triumph 500cc, built in the style of a T100C or T100SC. The bike starts very easily on modern direct electronic ignition system (no battery). Lights work direct also, but I think if you were planning a lot of night time use fitting a battery may be the best way for ward as the lights to dim down when the engine speed drops to tick-over. The engine sounds great, no strange noises and good crisp exhaust note and excellent performance with no smoke. Gears and clutch are all spot on, brakes are excellent, especially the front which is amazing for a single leader. Smith's repro speedometer is working well. The bike handles beautifully and performance is superb, really brisk acceleration. The bike is registered as an historic vehicle (free road tax & MOT exempt).
