Weโ€™ve recently been contacted by James, who is on a mission to track down his late grandfatherโ€™s 1946 Triumph Speed Twin motorbike. This particular bike, with the registration FDF 110, obviously holds sentimental value for James and his family.

We know that it was sold around 2017, and while the most recent V5 was issued shortly after, it has since proven difficult to trace its current whereabouts.


This bike was one of the first post-war models that symbolised a return to normalcy after the upheaval of World War II. For James, it represents a connection to his grandfather.

We know how much a vehicle can mean to a family, not just as a mode of transport but as a strong connection to memories of yesteryear. Thatโ€™s why weโ€™re reaching out to our community for help. If anyone has any information on the current owner of FDF 110 or its location, it would be appreciated by James and his family.

At Bridge Classic Cars, we understand the deep connection people have with their vehicles, which is why we created the Nostalgia section on our website. Here, we share stories of special vehicles that have played a significant role in peopleโ€™s lives. If youโ€™ve got a tale of your own, weโ€™d love to hear from you and help keep those memories alive.

Please, if you have any information on the whereabouts of the 1946 Triumph Speed Twin, please get in touch.
