Book Description
London to Cape Town overland by Panther and sidecar, pulling a trailer. No roads, no backup -- just straight across the Sahara through equatorial Africa, and South to the Cape -- in 1935, without even a compass! This is quite simply the most incredible Panther journey ever! Undeterred by nomads, sand drifts, heat, rain, rivers, breakdowns and politics, Theresa Wallach and Florence Blenkiron completed a journey that might well defeat a modern bike. From oasis to oasis arguing with the French Foreign Legion for permission to continue, and winning; fashioning a tow hitch for the trailer when it broke in the desert; rebuilding the entire engine from scratch in Agadez; meeting gorillas, lions and snakes on the road, staying in African villages and meeting an amazing variety of friendly and helpful people. Not to mention having an accident in Tanganyika (Tanzania) with the only car seen on the road for days!

Book Description
'The living legend that never died' In modern times, with the well-established recognition that the Japanese motorcycle now has alongside the long known German and Italian models, enthusiast can still point proudly to the one major British firm left from the past. It's Triumph, now moved to a new home in Hinckley and building machines technically divorced from their past, but still using the traditional tank badge recognised all over the world. Long before events brought about this change, Triumph led the way to the vertical-twin motorcycle and after World War II majored on this engine type, adding a triple late in the day. These machines continue to be much in demand, but now this is in the classic machine market where they hold the same high position as they did when the models were new. This book is essential reading for every Triumph owner, rider, restorer or just admirer. It deals with the much loved Triumph twins, plus the fabulous Trident, from its inception to the final days at Meriden and includes many photographs plus invaluable tables of machine data and specifications.
