 Our favourite section so buy something before we do!!  How it all began In 1883 20 year old Siegfried Bettmann arrived in Coventry from Nuremburg Germany and started the S. Bettmann & Co. Import Export Agency selling bicycles made by William Andrews of Birmingham. In 1886 S. Bettmann & Co changed to The Triumph Cycle Company with backing from the Dunlop Tyre Company.
1889 and Triumph starts to produce its own bicycles from a factory in Much Park Street, Coventry.The first Triumph motorcycle was produced in 1902, one of the company’s own bicycles with a single cylinder Belgian Minerva engine clipped to the down tube. In 1905 the company produced its first all Triumph Motorcycle with a 3bhp 300cc side valve engine and had a top speed in the region of 40 to 50 mph.  Categories
