See how much fun you can have at less than 30mph
Love these Ner-a-cars

Loads of random Vintage, veteran and post-vintage TRIUMPH parts. There's also pre-unit twin cylinder engines, ali cylinders and barrels.

I also have a Veteran Triumph project coming up.

To see all of the Triumph parts in the site, go to the link in the comments.

1898 / 1899 Chilton Tricycle with a De Dion Bouton engine. Running nicely. Seemingly the only one to exist.

Isn't it amazing that we can still use these old vehicles?

It cracks along too. It has been converted to use a regular carburettor, rather than the old surface carb system.

Because it's made before 1905, it's potentially OK to use in the London to Brighton car run. Of course, you can use it at Still Kicking, Where is Anna, The Pioneer Run and the Banbury Run.

Does anyone have a rear wheel available for this veteran Triumph?

Rare OMEGA with a J*P 350cc SV engine, from 1925 (ish).
I'd be interested to hear from anyone about the numbers constructed. It seems that information on the 4-stroke models is a little scarce.
I have a copy of the 1925 OMEGA catalogue.
This model is in the catalogue.

By the way, I have the rest of the bike. It's just not assembled at the moment.

Thanks

A few of the carburettors for sale at the moment.
Link to current carbs is in the comments.

I have quite a few more in the process of being rebuilt, including:

- Several Triumph brass carbs from the teens / 1920's,
- a very nice WD carb for the Norton 16H (276AB/1BE),
- a pair of 1953 Triumph T100 carbs (76AR & 76AS),
- some B&B carbs that were made under licence to the German Co, Fischer.

Let me know which type of brass carb you need. I will check if I have it.
