My research has necessitated the determining of the dating codes, which changed from 1924, and in order to verify these findings I have needed to know quite intimately the significant, and often small, changes which occured during production of each and every model. Consequently, for a number of years I have accumulated and recorded detailed information on the various machines, which I am only too pleased to be able to pass on to other Triumph owners via the booklets referenced above.

Although much of my research has been from personal observation and period literature, the communication of information is a TWO-WAY affair and I can often only obtain machine information to further my researches, and make them more accurate, if YOU, the owner of a surviving Triumph from the years 1902 to 1940, are prepared to provide me with numbers and letters from your machine or major components. Be assured, I keep such information in the strictest confidence. No owner or machine details are passed to other persons; even if they be an owner of an identical machine. Contacts are arranged only with the specific permission of the person required to be contacted. Additionally, I am not a dealer in spare parts, although I can occasionally advise on the source of items required to complete a restoration.
