Thanks. Does it also produce mudgards stays? Paul

Ron, probably you are right. This weld does not look professional. In foto place of removed clips (de luxe). In the picture I can see only one name plate on the top of the tank. Just like in my tank. Thanks Ron. Do you know who makes copies of luggage rack? Paul

Hi Ron, thanks for the info. They may have been based on the 3SE model, but they have an aluminum chaincase and magdyno just like the de Luxe model. My frame ranges from 14612 to 14612+ 3300. In my motorcycle the field stand pivot was moulded. Paul

I buy a civilian de Luxe (ex military) in 1982. The front wheel, mudguard were from DKW NZ and the front fork was not original. It had a Polish army nameplate from the 1946 (demobilization). Instead of the year of production is the date of release of the model. The engine number has a first digit added. The frame has original numbers in the head and under the saddle. This motorcycle had a field stand attachment welded to the frame. Unfortunately I removed them in 1982. I thought it was a post-war, not original modification.

I present my bike, their photos and history. I bought a military for part 20 years ago. He was an endless chopper project.It has a folding motor made of two different halves, but luckily they fit together and are in the axis. The left half with the numbers was burned out, maybe hit with a bullet and repaired. So these numbers may be from another motorcycle.The frame has readable numbers and in two places.

Thanks all for the emails. In accordance with the advice of "No Signals" I founded two new topics: - Triumph 3S de Luxe - Triumph 3SW. I am asking everyone for help and comments on new topics. There I will put pictures of each of them. Thanks Paul

Report post Posted yesterday at 08:44 AM My name is Pawel ( eng. Paul) and I am a new forum member from Poland. I have two Triumphs 3S from 1940. Probably both were sent to Russia with the help of Lend Lease and served in the Polish army in Russia. Because they were not entirely original, so I decided to restore them to the specifications from 1940. One will be the version of 3S de Luxe, and the other in the colors of Polish Air Forces in Great Britain. I would like to ask for help in rebuilding and finding motorcycle numbers in the contract numbers. Second (military): frame number: TL 17954 engine number: 28675 Contract number: C5108. I started the topic in the "Introductions & Welcomes" section and now I'm moving him on the advice of "No Signals" to "Motorcycles" section. I will be grateful for all comments and help. Paul

I correspond with Jork from februar 2019; was to put my Triumphs on the list. But you can't see them today. I once tried to set a number by the police, but they have no historical knowledge of pre-war England numbering. I will quote this post in two separate pages about motorcycles. Paul

Hi Jenkinov, I send enlarged engine numbers. This number 71435 is a mystery to me. Not listed in any documents. I know that the motorcycle was sold by the Polish army in 1946 and went to the civil market. Although the identification plate has a capacity of 350 ccm, someone has registered it in Poland with a capacity of 200ccm! There were probably lower taxes. This is recorded in the Polish CEPIK (central vehicle database). I bought it in 1982. I have no previous documents and it is difficult to determine today. "so as.you have identified you have the inspectors WE stamp" - I do not know these stamps. Both frames had a field stand attachment welded to the frame. Unfortunately, in this "civilian" I removed them in 1982. I thought it was a post-war modification. Thank you very much. Paul

Thanks, actually Enfield is green in the picture (colourised with two aplications). I have to decide whether or not to change the color. I think the year of production was mistaken for the year of the model. 3S began to be produced since 1937. I will transfer this thread to the motorcycle department. Greetings Paul

My RAF military bike.

Thanks for the answer. I didn't think about the way through Dunkirk. For distinction I will call them civilian and military. I buy a civilian in 1982. The front wheel, mudguard were from DKW NZ and the front fork was not original. It had a Polish army nameplate from the 1946 (demobilization). Instead of the year of production is the date of release of the model. The engine number has a first digit added. The frame has original numbers in the head and under the saddle. I bought a military for part 20 years ago. He was an endless chopper project. It has a folding motor made of two different halves, but luckily they fit together and are in the axis. The left half with the numbers was burned out, maybe hit with a bullet and repaired. I was fixing it today. So these numbers may be from another motorcycle. The frame has readable numbers and in two places. Were motorcycles for Air Force also green? I started to mounting in Blue / Gray RAF.

Hello, I am a new forum member from Poland. I have two Triumphs 3S from 1940. Probably both were sent to Russia with the help of Lend Lease and served in the Polish army in Russia. Because they were not quite original, so I decided to restore them to the specifications from 1940. One will be the version of 3S de Luxe, and the other in the colors of Polish Air Forces in Great Britain. I would like to ask for help in finding the motorcycle numbers in the contract numbers. First (de Luxe): frame number: TL 15567 engine number: 28594 Second (military): frame number: TL 17954 engine number: 28675 Both have contract number: C 5108 I will be grateful for all comments. Paul
