Yes it is, only 112 were built and there are probably very few survivors. Jaye Strait from Massachusetts restored one that was pictured in the book "Triumph Racing Motorcycles in America" that has the splayed port, dual carb cylinder head made available in 1957 as well as alloy wheel rims. Definitely another of the best Triumph's ever made.
The Show & Go Cycle Shop is my private two car garage located in the foothills of Central CA. I am building everything from early Desert Racers - Street or Strip Dragbikes - 1960's Style Show Bikes - to 70's style Radical Choppers. Specializing in Pre-Unit construction 650 & 500 twins and vintage aftermarket parts identification. Buy, Sell, Trade, parts made by Webco, MCM, MCA, Bates, Flanders, Wassell, Superior, Routt's Cycle, etc. Period photos wanted. If you have stuff for sale related to what you see here email me. I will post pics of my projects from time to time and keep an ongoing thread of pictures and old magazine articles featuring modified British Motorcycles from 1946 onwards.
Check out those megas ! Classy machine.
