Location: Sydney, Australia
Here’s a chance to own a true café racer icon — a 1956 Triton 500, combining a Triumph pre-unit twin with a Norton Featherbed slimline frame. This machine was originally purchased for display in our showroom but deserved so much more. Now, after a thoughtful and sympathetic refurbishment, this Triton is very nearly ready to return to the road.
??? RESTORATION & FEATURES:
This Triton came to us in rough cosmetic shape — put away wet, with tired chrome and oxidised alloy — but its bones were exceptional, built using rare and desirable period parts, and well worth restoring.
CHASSIS & FRAME:
Norton Atlas slimline featherbed frame (1963), checked and in great condition
Paint is solid — cut and polish only
Rear shocks replaced with Arion Pacific Industries dual-spring units
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION:
500cc Triumph pre-unit twin with alloy head and barrel
Bench-tested and runs beautifully — appears recently rebuilt
Norton gearbox and clutch (a period-correct and desirable upgrade)
Lucas magneto ignition
Amal Monobloc carburettor, fully rebuilt with polished float bowl and ram tube
WHEELS & BRAKES:
Genuine Akront alloy rims, polished
Hubs, brake plates cleaned and painted
Tyres: Dunlop K81 front and rear
Single-leading shoe Atlas front and rear brakes
Wheels re-spoked, trued, and internals rebuilt
FORKS & SUSPENSION:
Norton Roadholder front forks, fully rebuilt
Painted trees and fork covers, polished to a satin finish
Arion Pacific Industries Clubman bars, 7" Lucas-style headlight
BODYWORK & FINISH:
Genuine Dunstall combo fuel/oil tank, painted silver, re-chromed filler caps
Genuine Dunstall seat, restored
Swept-back headers with Dunstall wide-mouth mufflers
Lucas 564 tail light repro by Arion

ELECTRICS:
Custom wiring loom
12V dead battery system — battery housed inside modified toolbox with fiberglass insert
Horn hidden beneath seat
Lighting system provides ~2hrs runtime before recharge
?? NOTES:
This Triton is not a kit or tribute — it’s a thoughtfully built vintage café racer that blends authenticity with functional upgrades. The engine, frame, and component choices are all in line with how serious Triton builds were done in the 1960s and ‘70s.
A few final details and tuning steps remain before it's 100% road-ready, but it’s very close to completion and will reward its next owner handsomely.
?? PRICE: $35,000
