Featured Triumph Speed Tripple Winter Project

2006 triumph speed triple bought for £600 in October 2020 as a none runner has been left in a shed for 9 years 9000 on the clock three of us working on it during lock down a £1000 spent and is back in pristine condition just waiting for the forks to come back from a specialist rebuild company and will be good to go, what do you think it will be worth ??

 

I believe it's a very good purchase, I don't know the value in UK in Spain 3000-4500€

 

Very nice! I do like those round headlight models

 

Hi, Jaffa, great deal.
Nice looking bike, old Speeds are so sought after and looks like you have a good one there.
What did you spend the money on?
I got a trade in quote on a 15 Speed Triple, of 5000 pounds.in Oct.
What annoyed me is these things dont go below 4000 pounds ever!
So bikes 10 years older than mine go for 1000 less.
Anyway. Enjoy.

 

yeh we had all the gloss black including the engine parts powder coated, god it looks nice

 

we spent most the money on powder coating two tyres, the forks cost £400 to have re chromed stanchions and new seals, plus i changed all the engine bolts to chrome ones then just general bit oil, filter, coolant, rad thermostat, battery, gaskets. three months work has really paid of its very nice as you can se from the pictures total cost around £1600

 

Lucky you...this sounds like a good deal!

 

@jaffa, from the great photos and your big smile, what the bike will be worth will, I think, be more than money can buy. What you will be able to sell it for is a different question and another discussion. Thanks for sharing all the photos of your rebuild of this beautiful bike that you've given a new life!

 

thanks i think i will keep this one its gona be outstanding when finished, have got lockdown to thank for that, hopefully at 62 years old i am still flexible enough to ride it

 

Keep it! It looks like one of those bikes you'd always regret selling

 

Great project and and ace job you've done too, well done

Is it a cat a,b,c or commercial write-off? That will have the biggest impact on value.
