Triumph 6T Thunderbird 1949 British The 650cc model 6T or Thunderbird was Triumph's answer to an increasing demand for faster and more powerful motorcycles for the important American export market. This bike was one of a team of three machines used to cover 500 miles at over 90mph during pre-launch demonstrations at the famous French Montlhery circuit during September 1949. Engine: 649cc, 2 cylinder, Overhead valve, 34bhp at 6,300rpm Top Speed: 100mph Price new: £195 Manufacturer: Triumph Engineering Company Limited Owner: National Motor Museum Trust

Housing a collection of over 250 automobiles and motorcycles telling the story of motoring on the roads of Britain from the dawn of motoring to the present day, the award winning (Winner - The International Historic Motoring Awards of the Year 2012) National Motor Museum appeals to all age groups. From World Land Speed Record Breakers including Campbell’s famous Bluebird to film favourites such as the magical flying car, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and rare oddities like the giant orange on wheels. Don’t miss exciting extra features such as the Motorsport Gallery, Wheels and Jack Tucker's Garage - A permanent, multi award-winning 1930's garage has been created within the Museum, complete down to the last nut and bolt and rusty drainpipe. Whilst the building is a complete fabrication, everything in it - all the fixtures, fittings, tools and ephemera - are genuine artefacts collected over a period of 25 years.
