While the mainstay of Triumph's range throughout the mid-to-late 1920s was the ubiquitous 3½hp Model P and its many derivatives, there were some interesting offerings in other capacities. The little two-stroke Junior had gone in 1925 but before then it had been joined by the LS, an advanced 350cc sidevalve of unitary construction. Sales of the latter were sluggish however, prompting a switch from such expensive products to simpler and cheaper alternatives. The first of these was the Model P, which arrived in 1925, and the second the 277cc Model W, which was as big an engine Triumph could build while keeping the resulting machine within the favourable taxation class that limited weight to 220lbs. Introduced for 1927, the Model W changed little for the next couple of years, becoming the WS in 1930 when it adopted the fashionable saddle tank, and was dropped when the 1931 range was announced. Apparently a relatively recent restoration, this Model W should respond well to re-commissioning. However, its mechanical condition is not known and thus the machine is sold strictly as viewed. Offered with an old-style V5 (issued January 1987) and an expired MoT (1994).
