Hughie Hancox is probably the best known restorer of classic Meriden twins of the 50's & 60's, and as an ex Triumph employee, who better to turn your old neglected heap into a gleaming example of Meriden's finest. He is also the vice-president of the Triumph Owners Motorcycle Club of Great Britain and an accomplished international concours judge. This came about because his restored machines, owned by his customers, won so many awards at the Classic Bike Show (the premier classic show in the UK), that he was asked to stand down and give others a chance. It was then that the organisers appointed him a Judge!

About the videos: Hughie, his son in law John & an old friend who was involved in the video production industry went into partnership a few years back to produce a video that would help owners of Triumph pre - unit 650 twins to undertake major engine overhaul themselves. The video was not designed to replace the printed service / repair manual, rather it was to demonstrate the methods and techniques used in an engine rebuild that were not easily shown either with still photographs or the written word. The manual was still required for the essential specifications etc. This was a colossal undertaking, nearly 50 hours of original "footage" was produced on professional broadcast quality videotape and reduced in editing to just under 3 hours. Entitled The Triumph Way the video enabled Hughie to demonstrate the "tricks of the trade" that he learned at Meriden and which can make a job so much simpler than it looks. Any Triumph enthusiast, with a modicum of mechanical aptitude can undertake a complete engine overhaul with the aid of "The Triumph way". This was followed by two more videos, the Unit 650 Rebuild covers the rebuilding of the Unit 650 engine, transmission and gearbox. Again running at about 3 hours this video will enable owners of the Unit 650 Triumph to undertake a major rebuild in their own workshop. The third video Classic Motorcycle Carburation is shorter at 40 mins and covers the setting up of the carburation. This video is rather different in that it can be applied to most post war 4stroke Singles and Twins from the major British manufacturers. The programme assumes that the machine is in standard unmodified form and is equipped with the correct carburettor, needle/s, slide/s etc. for the particular model concerned. It's a Triumph was produced for the Triumph factory in the 1950's and was used by Triumph dealers around the world to show to potential customers exactly what went into building a Triumph motorcycle. Running for approximately 30 minutes the video shows many of the production processes and includes some shots of Edward Turner himself in his office. Originally shot on black & white 16mm film and produced in the style of the time, this is a fascinating insight into a bygone era. Tales of Triumph and the Meriden Factory [BOOK]. In his book Hughie tells the story of his life at the famous Meriden factory and of his adventures with Triumph motorcycles and Triumph people. By doing so, he has recorded the fascinating inside story of one of Britain's greatest motorcycle marques. Now in its third reprint the book has nearly 150 pages and is comprehensively illustrated with photographs from the period. It covers the period through the fifties and up to the final collapse of the company in the seventies.
