This is my 1965 Lambro FLi 175 Lambretta triporteur. It has a 125cc engine fitted, but I don’t know if this was installed from the factory or later. It’s in good running order except that the diff is noisy; so we’ll have that apart as the first job.

The body is good and it’s surprisingly original all round - it even has its original tarpaulin.

Here’s a photo of an FLi 175 in the 1960 film ‘Classe tous risques, ’

Soraya and I went to France to collect it. Here we are next to the moving windmill we passed on the return journey.

It’s usually an interesting experience transporting 3-wheelers. It is mounted on my towing dolly - an apparatus that is supposed to transport a vehicle behind; but we discovered that with a bit of improvisation, the Lambro fit perfectly on top.
After this discovery, I’ll make up an extra ramp attachment to make it easier for future triporteur transportation.

The previous owner stored this motorcycle for over 40 years. After a day with my mechanic and some new tyres, it passed its MOT and now buzzes around wonderfully in its new lease of life.

1953 Peugeot TN 55 Triporteur

I’m a real sucker for triporteurs. In the 1980’s, I owned an early 1950’s Pashley delivery m/cycle. I still regret selling it, so I snapped up this wonderful old triporteur the minute I found it.

The previous owner cherished this lovely old Prefect for over 20 years. The bodywork is excellent and it has a rebuilt engine. It appeared in the TV soap ‘Emmerdale Farm’ 10 years ago.

The interior is just as wonderful as the outside of the car. This beautiful 54-year-old Ford is good enough to enter for shows.

NOW SOLD

THIS TRIUMPH 5T (registration JAZ 1946) has been my personal mount over the past year.

I’ve not yet found another example of this flat tank version of the TS100. This German Triumph is powered by a 98cc Fichtel & Sachs engine. Its ‘Triumph’ logo is particurly unusual in this country, as most German Triumphs carried a ‘TWN’ badge - after the German and British branches of Triumph split, all German Triumph export models were fitted with the TWN badge.

TWN means ‘Triumph Werks Nurmberg’ - I’m sure you already know that Triumph is actually a German marque? The German and British companies were split in the 1930’s.

We’ve recently restored this machine, and I hope to ride it on the British 2-Stroke Mid-Sussex Run on June 10th.

I couldn’t find many photos of this model on the internet, though I have managed to obtain various brochures showing 1936 models:

We originally attached the Fenton Zip sidecar to it.

Though the bike and sidecar are not colour matched, they are each so unusual they seem to complement each other…

However, I’ve now removed the sidecar and am using the Triumph solo.

I’ve owned this bike for 3 years. It’s been my daily runaround ever since. I bought a Triumph 350 because I’d hurt my back and couldn’t get on with big bikes. Now my back’s better I’ve recently bought a 5T for regular use, so unfortunately this faithful friend must go.

It starts first kick in any weather, is very tidy and reliable too.
