Actually I sold it through Bonhams a few years ago, it fetched £5000 unrestored. It would have made more, but there was a beautiful restored model, same year, in the same sale >:( >:( >:( which fetched, IIRC, about £12k. :'( :'( :'(
Sadly it went to the US. :'(

Possibly, I can only go back to a 1969 Triumph I had in the late 70's, a bugger of a bike compared to more modern examples............ ::) ::)

Bloody Hell Chris .... that was even older than you!  ::) ::) ::)

TB is not a young  vigorous man any more, Mr EMD.......so perhaps a nice economical step-thru would be more his cup of tea. :)

Just trying to help. :)

Nothing wrong with a step through Mr Opti, they're very practical! You can put a small child or your shopping between your feet!  :)

I was thinking that a step-thru with a basket on the front would be suitable for TB, Mr Tigger. :)

50cc maximum should be ample.
