Lovely Triumph. Had a few Triumphs in my time, nice bikes.
Think you should keep and restore the Triton. Piece of history

I know, I know. Others are of the same opinion. It may happen yet as I’m not giving it away.

I bought a couple of Triumphs when all my mates were turning Japanese. A T90 and then a new T100C (£399). Hope yours turns out better than my experiences as an incompetent 17-19yr old. The T100 needed a rebore at 15 months and used more oil than mates GT380.
Followed up with 500/4 and never bought British again.

Allways liked the old Triumphs.

 A mate of mine Bonneville, Its used in all weathers, just as it was designed for
A very sensible modification to the carbs. Fitting Japanese carbs is frowned upon by the Triumph owners club for some reason. Really helps with running and starting though.

I think you know the only thing to do is to restore the Triton. I am in the middle of restoring mine now. Just purchased a set of 'comfort clip-ons' and Tickle replica headlamp brackets in stainless from Simon at Barleycorn engineering. I have a set of Morgo barrels to fit and modified for me by Miles at Morgo who removed one fin (it's a Dave Degans Dreada unit engine).

Yes, I think you might be right. Time for cogitation.

That's a stunner Phil, Loving the blue one you have too, DONT SELL IT!!!!  they'll probably be far too much money for me to tackle when I get round to getting one. My ex had a 2006 T100, what a hoot but found it a bit sanitary, the older thumpier ones always appealed to me and I'd love to have a go at one!

Thanks, but I sold it after someone offered me a lot of money. Another should have kept it bike. Like lots of folk, I have had a few of those. Restored them over about a year, then run for a while, then gone. The whole thing repeats.
Still, I have had some nice bikes and have a few now.  8)
