This Triumph Roadster, with 1776cc engine, was registered in May 1946 and has been dry-stored in a barn for the last 20-plus years.

It isn't currently running and driving and will thus require recommissioning or restoration.

The chassis number, TRD21, suggests it is one of the very earliest examples to be built.

The odometer shows 47,198 miles.

The only documentation with the Triumph is its continuation buff logbook from 1957, which also notes that a reconditioned engine was fitted.

A modern V5C will need be applied for.
