Dutch Army Triumph 3TA - 1967 - A Time Capsule This vintage Dutch Army Triumph 3TA from 1967 has a fascinating history. After dutiful service in the Dutch army, it found itself at a state auction, changing hands to its previous owner. Shortly after his purchase, the bike's owner moved to Australia and forgot about the bike. The bike was tucked away and forgotten in a Dutch barn for approximately 35 years. The beauty of this story lies in the bike's remarkable original state. Virtually every component remains true to its original military origins – from the paint and chain to the brakes, spark plugs, cables, et cetera. It's a genuine time capsule, showcasing all the Army details, including the handwritten name "REE" beneath the seat, most likely belonging to its former soldier's driver. We at Moto Adonis undertook the task of breathing new life into this historic machine, utilising as many original parts as possible. The fuel taps and battery were the only elements replaced. Now, the bike is not merely a relic but a fully functional piece of history, running, braking, and driving. The engine's melodious purr (only: 5390km), coupled with a good gearbox and clutch. This is also a matching-number bike. This Dutch Army Triumph 3TA is now seeking a new owner, presenting the choice to either preserve it like it is or give the bike a small service of points, spark plugs, leads, etc. to enhance its reliability for more driving. The bike, of course, has already undergone a checkup and an oil change.
