The Triumph owner clearly has some serious metal working skills. Just because I appreciate the work involved, doesn’t mean I like it

Until you find a half eaten Redskin embedded in the rear carpet, and try to remove it

For sure. Peter still had all the original bodywork. He used this bodywork and belly pan system when he rode this Tiger to Inuvik in the Northwest Territories years ago, to try to keep the corrosive calcium cloride mix off the bike, and just kept going!The Triumph owner clearly has some serious metal working skills.

He has another bike, called the Coventry Climax. Basis of this bike is an engine out of a Hillman Imp, using a Royal Enfield 750 Interceptor frame, Commando gearbox, Interstate fuel tank, with custom designed dash, front end, rear swingarm, primary system, wheel hubs, brakes, all hand made. Took it thru Africa in the 1970’s!!!

As you say, mildly customised. Seems to carry a later engine. Period correct one wouldn't have this angled cylinder and head:
Nice enough anyway though!

Jo, I think yours is the later one, what Charley have seen seems to be a very early model. Look to the fork, tank and mudgard.
Angled cylinder were from the previous models.

I am fairly certain that the base model above started out as a Zündapp KS 100, of the type built between 1965 and 1966:

Pimped with a later 17 hp engine, it boasts now more than twice of the original performance.
AFAIR the 125cc engines produced up until 1971 featured cooling fins on both the cylinder and cylinder head that ran parallel to one another; starting in 1973, the engine appeared with that distinctive, asymmetrical finning pattern.

Here’s an article on Peter’s “Imp”. Wish the picture was better but you get the idea. He made literally everything!The Triumph owner clearly has some serious metal working skills. Just because I appreciate the work involved, doesn’t mean I like it

Looks a bit like the engine in my LZ50.
And I presume you spotted it on the promenade somewhere near the Lido?
