The Twenty-One was the beginning of a new range of motorcycles from Triumph that would eventually include the 5TA, T100A, and end with the TR5T Adventurer (known as the C Class). Its 350cc engine was very reliable and made the motorcycle popular as a touring and commuting model. The cylinder block was cast iron with an alloy head and separate rocker boxes, and dry sump lubrication. Rebranded the 3TA in 1959, the model continued in production until 1966. 

There are two explanations for the Twenty One name spelt out in full on the side panels. The first explanation is that it celebrates the Twenty First of the Triumph motorcycle company. The second explanation is that the US export model was called the Twenty One after its engine displacement of 21 cubic inches, which equates to 350cc.

Offered for sale is this slightly modified 3TA, registered in 1976 to the T90 style, the successor of the Triumph 3TA. An older restoration, having not been used for some months the bike may require some recommissioning before being used.
