One of the Triumph booklets I have written covers the smaller models and includes the Model Z. Have a look at www.triumph.gen.nz or e-mail me at peter@triumph.gen.nz
I don't think it would be 1929. If you let me have the engine number and the three letters which will also be somewhere on the crankcase (and possibly frame number) I will be able to date it for you.

Thanks for the picture and the details.
The 147cc Model Z was made for only 1932. What you have is a 174cc Model X, and these were made for 1930 to 1932. Your bike was assembled during July or August 1931.
