The TR6 was hot stuff by 1957 dominating most American off road racing and they probably did not stay on the dealership floors for long. So here we have a focus on the T110 in the old Edward Turner style with headlight nacelle and valanced rear fender. Still a very sleek road machine for the rider that does not intend to leave the street. A classic with the 8" vented front brake and super sports motor. The tie in to the Texas streamliner is a good one since the T110 motor is a tuned version of the T-Bird. I like the ad lines "Get hep" and "Join the big swing to Triumph". This bike with very little changes was soon to become the twin carb Bonneville. New hi-fi exhaust system? Dig that jive.
