The Triumph 6T Thunderbird is a 649cc parallel-twin motorcycle featuring a pre-unit construction engine, single Amal Monobloc carburettor, and approximately 34-42 bhp. It is known for its ‘bathtub’ styling, 4-speed gearbox, and 6-volt electrical system, offering a top speed around 96 mph.

Watsonian Squire is a British manufacturer of sidecars for attachment to motorcycles. The original business was established in 1912 by Thomas Fredrick Watson as the Patent Collapsible Sidecar Company Ltd. at Balsall Heath, Birmingham, England.

This bike has come as part of a deceased estate, it starts easily and runs well. It has been supplied with original Triumph panniers and the original fairing the bike was bought with, as well as some spare silencers. The bike comes with a full UK V5, which shows as only having one registered keeper since 1981 when the V5s went computerised and the number ‘169 VTE’ appears to be transferable. It is registered as a historic vehicle so requires no tax or MOT.
