1967 Metisse, Triumph T100 For Sale

A fine and well thought after Motorcycle, great for on and off road enjoyment.
'This rig is the best handling bike I've ever owned!' Famous words about the Triumph Metisse by Steve McQueen.
Métisse Motorcycles were originally created and developed in the 1960s by the Rickman Brothers.
This Metisse is with a Triumph T 100, 500cc unit consstruction engine which runs well and sounds great. The bike does need some attention, mainly cosmetic.

This Machine was imported from the USA and later sold by Bonhams .
This is what Bonhams said about this great bike.

Imported from the USA in 1992, this Triumph-engined Rickman comes with the relevant import documentation and MRD Métisse Certificate of Authenticity. The machine was acquired by the current vendor in October 2003 and first registered in the UK on 26th April 2006. While in the vendor's possession the frame has been stripped and re-plated, the bodywork repainted (in 2005) and the alloy parts cleaned and polished. More recently the wheels were rebuilt with Akront alloy rims and stainless spokes; the fork stanchions hard chromed and reground to size; the electrics rewired; and the engine stripped and checked. Found to be on the standard bore size, the motor was fitted with new piston rings, valves, valve springs, bearings, primary chain and tensioner. Zero miles have been covered since the rebuild. Numerous modifications and improvements have been made to the machine in the interests of enhancing reliability, including a Morgo rotary oil pump; seven-plate clutch with alloy basket; Boyer electronic ignition with single twin-lead coil; Sparx alternator and solid state regulator/ rectifier; Trail Tech digital instrument panel; and the addition of a lighting kit. The machine is offered with the aforementioned documentation and Swansea V5C, and is expected to be freshly MoT'd and taxed prior to sale.
The registration number is: PWP 227E
