Paul Scott Triton

Paul is right, its very difficult to make a nice Triton, to find the good line and for sure Paul did it at the first shot.
Thank you Paul for these pictures and your amazing work

My name is Paul Scott, from Esh Winning, Co. Durham in the North-East of England. I’ve been restoring bikes for a number of years now, before that I used to restore old sports cars. I got sick of having to restore everything to original to keep the greybeards and anoraks happy so I decided to go for something different. I’d always liked the look of Tritons so I decided to give it a go. I bought a 1958 basket case Dommi locally and a tatty re-imported US spec. T120R Bonneville off e-bay as the donor bikes and built it over the winter of 2008 into spring 2009. You have to be a bit careful with Tritons as they can end up looking like a dogs dinner if you don’t get the lines right. This is my first but as I have a few spare pre-unit Triumph engines and gearboxes, I might build another with the pre-unit set-up, or I might go even more radical and build a Triumph bobber. Watch this space. Meanwhile I’m just jobbing on keeping the rest of the collection in good order.
