Hello boys.
My situation seems to turn better, thanks to a very kind and unknown Swiss friend found via internet. He told me some sites for search and made himself a research for me: results were highly positive, but I stand by because my mechanic convinced me for welding.
I will tell final results.
Bye

HI.

Once upon the time "s" was for "side valve engine".  "R" I don't know.

Have a look to the forum on Triumph 3SE

Keep headlight on !

Hi Paul
Of course I do like a fascinating road going 3SE kept in original conditions.
Generally I prefer unrestored bikes, unless it is strictly obliged.
Be proud and get fun with your 3SE.
I join an old article, of 1995, from Legend Bike, an Italian motorcycle magazine. Thebike reported is the mine.
Hope you and anybody can read or translate the article.

All the best and Happy new year to all 3SE (and 3S, 3SW, 3H, 3HW, 3SC, etc) enthusists.

Hi Schraubear and thanks for your evaluation, coming from a 3SE owner.
Somebody said there were some details not regular; somebody else said it is a mixture between 3SE and 3SW for the rear, and an other one says the fork is not correct.
On the contrary Petr Cornelius (the Triumph expert of VMCC UK) approoved the work except for the spring on the clutch cable and the lifting handle that schould be black.
I would be glad to have a look to your 3SE.
I got the book by Masters. Thanks.
Finally I am glad I didn't find a buyer for my 3SE.

Cheers

Hi Bomber.
It's always hard to take difficult decisions.
As a collector, I am fond of BMWs and have R27, R45, R75/5 sidecar, R69/S-US. I found a wonderful R12 of 1937 and I hope to catch it, but must sell 3SE (the most valuable I have) and others to find the budget.
Prehaps it is not a good idea and it is possible that I hope will not sell 3SE.

All the best

Hello all of you.
Here is my 3SE 1940 totally restored and in beautiful running conditions as I found it in 2007.
Other news can be seen on www.ebay.co.uk at n. 230707629957 as the bike is for sale.
I made some researchs about its story and I found that model "S" was the echonomic side valve model of OHV SH.
3SE came at end 1938 and was produced till mid 1940 when the Triumph production was almost totally devoted to war models.
3SE was the "EXPORT" model for Australia, following the advice of local dealers for a quiet and reliable bike.
Later 3SE was added to the British cathalogue and also came the 3SC model with ignition-COIL.
In Italy 3SE is very rare; I couldn't find an other one. I just found some SW, anyway less the ten. I have no spares at all.
I would be glad to find Users' manual, Workshop manual, Spare part list, drive tests, etc.  Please contact me for news.
It is even difficult to find enthusiasts for this model.

Cheers.
