Breaking this Triumph project as I have had it for a few years and not even started to build it.
Before you all say I am committing the ultimate sin, it's not registered. It's a kit of spare parts. The frame is for a 1949 350cc 3T and the engine is a 1947 500cc 5T. It's a mongrel and it's in the way.

Prices are:
1948 Triumph 3T rigid frame from 1949 with a clear number - £695
Pair of wheels with the front brake plate but no rear brake plate - £200
Original front mudguard - £100
Original rear mudguard with both pieces - £120
Saddle - £55
Oil tank - £65
Standard pre-unit gearbox - £220
Pre-unit 500cc 1947 5T engine - £580 (needs a rebuild)
Original panel fuel tank - £350
Original panel for the fuel tank with 3 of the instruments (switch just placed there) - £330
Forks (will need a rebuild) - £175
Headlamp -£40
Engine primary covers (inner & outer) - £188
Rear brake lever - £45

If you want to buy the whole thing before people buy the parts, talk to me quickly. I will give preference to someone who wants to buy the whole thing.

Located near to Cambridge.
You are welcome to collect
Shipping is possible for some of of the parts and the cost of shipping to be paid by the buyer.

The start of the Where is Anna weekend at the Hesbaye Historic Festival in Belgium.
Some heavy rain hasn’t dampened our spirits.
Camping, good pals from all over Europe, good local food and some even had a 30km ride today.
Looking forward to putting on a show at the castle tomorrow

Help to identify a flat tank.
I have been asked to help with the identification of this fuel tank. I don't know it. Perhaps someone can help?
You can just see some of the logo on the side. It might be European as it was found in Poland.
That's all I know.
Thanks

Here's a few 3-wheeler pics and videos from Where is Anna? - light, last Saturday.
2 Morgans and the irrepressible "The Busy Bee" with an AJS v-twin engine.

Where is Anna (light) in Belgium last Saturday.
Just some pictures to show the social aspect of our hobby. "Where is Anna?" is a fantastic event for pre-'31 motorcycles, Morgan 3-wheelers and cyclecars.
Great seeing old friends and making some new ones.
Onto the Hesbaye Historic Festival next weekend.
Thanks to Jurgen and Hans for organising these relaxed, fun, events.

Messing about last Saturday at the Where is Anna (Light) Run in Belgium.
I know, I need to eat less pies. The rear tyre looks a bit flat.

Three early Stewart speedometer gearboxes and mounts.
The middle one appears to have a date stamp: 21.06.26.
Can anyone date the others please?
These are the US Stewart speedometer parts. Not British Cooper-Stewart.
Thanks
