Issue 11 of Greasy Kulture magazine is about to be despatched, and one of the highlights is this late ’40s Triumph custom. The builder/owner is Pete Stansfield, who found the bike—minus engine—in a cellar, almost beyond repair. Stansfield traced its history, and discovered that it was one of the UK’s best-known show bikes from forty years ago. It was created by a guy called Jack Nuttall in 1966, and by the time Nuttall sold it in ’78, it had starred in several magazine features. The bike now has a 1961 650 motor cannibalised from one of Stansfield’s Triton projects: the frame is an original Triumph Thunderbird item. Stansfield kept the Tiger Cub oil tank, Wassell fuel tank and Triumph rear mudguard, but installed forks from a Japanese dirt bike. The reversed eight-stud head is a Stansfield signature, appearing on many of his builds, hooked up to an Amal monobloc carb. Those wheels are vintage Invaders, and the wonderful, patina-rich paint job was achieved by spraying on gold paint after rubbing the metalwork down with oil. [Thanks to Guy Bolton.]
