1948 Triumph Grand Prix
« on: January 30, 2010, 03:19:00 PM »
Hello
I was wondering if anyone might know anything about the petrol tank fitted to the '48 Grand Prix?
was the same as any other Model of the time?

Im currently Building a T100 in the replica form of the Grand Prix and have got a bit stuck in identifying the tank

any Info greatly appreciated

Many Thanks

Hello, I am not an expert but to my knowledge the GP tank was model specific with features that identify it as genuine.For example i think the tunnel was square section rather than round as std(I am not certain of this). Anyway for your purposes replica builders use the 1950 tank which is seamless with the butterfly cap. they are not easy to find but do turn up. Regards David

thanks so much for the info-

It hasnt been easy to find much info on the GP - and what I have found is really only a few pictures with a limited amount of text

Thanks again though -
