Another pre-war motorcycle scheduled for final assembly.
1938 Triumph 2H 250cc.
We love the colours on this one. Apparently they were only for 1938.
The fuel tank is safely boxed up.

When the "finance director" is away for a few days, and you don't have any more room in the garage.... Why not assemble a very nice 1928 New Imperial 350 OHV project in the dry?

It will be available as soon as I have worked out if there's anything missing. So far, it looks to be complete and it looks like the engine has been rebuilt.

The fuel tank is stunning.
The Pilgrim pump has been rebuilt.
New saddle, new rear carrier, lovely Amal throttle and grips, wheels painted and rebuilt.

Loads more parts in boxes.
