Both factories diversified into motorcycle production: the Coventry factory in 1902 and the Nuremberg factory in 1903. Confusion between the motorcycles produced by Coventry and Nuremberg Triumph led to the latter's products being renamed "Orial" for certain export markets. However, in the 1920s there was already an Orial motorcycle manufacturer in Lyon, France, so Nuremberg motorcycles were renamed "TWN", for Triumph Werke Nürnberg. The model presented here was bought by our collector 10 years ago. It had been made reliable. Wear parts had been replaced and the engine overhauled. In 2016, he had the engine rebuilt. An invoice for €2,251 worth of parts is included in the file. It also has its very rare French instruction manual. We recommend that future purchasers carry out the customary restarts due to the immobilization of these machines in the collector's museum.
