Thanks for this information, but in the front fender is stamped the 30s Triumph logo made in England, not is a TWN.
Very thanks for this reply: Davide

Looks like  Silent Scout (model A) to me?  Anyone agree?

Cheers

I think it must be a WL.  This was a 350cc sidevalve.  Engine numbers for this model ran from C1001 with frame numbers from B1001.

Hi Davide,

Yes. it's a Model WL. Assembled in November 1930 for the 1931 season. That number will be 1654 AGT.

It's very complete and the 'red' (close to maroon) was one of the optional colours available at no extra charge.
I have a 1931 Model WO, which was the 250cc ohv model.

One of the booklets I've written on various Triumph models from 1901 to 1934 covers the Model WL. If you contact me via <peter@triumph.gen.nz> I'll send a list.

Regards,
Peter.
