4 Wassel Style Petrol Peanut GasTanks

#1 Vintage, Authentic, unmolested, dent free. Has old style petcocks, but seems to have never been used by way of not having and gas smell. Inside has oxidized surface rust only. Seem to be original paint just scuffed up from storage. Total runner as is or strip and paint. Vintage English Chrome cap comes with it, in 8 out of 10 condition, just not shown. Stamped Made in England. $SOLD

#2 Vintage, Unmolested, dent free. Never been used. Inside has oxidized surface rust only. Seem to be original paint just minor scuffs from storage. Small flaw in paint top left nose end...as maybe a bit of battery acid had dropped on the pain. I'd sand it down and hit it with some black gloss spray and roll. New English Chrome cap comes with it, just not shown. Total runner as is or strip and paint. Stamped Made in Japan $SOLD

#3 Authentic, used and stripped. Definitely has been used with minor abuse. Some small dings here and there circled with chalk in pictures. Someone seems to have used a stripping pad to remove the paint. Appears the tank used to be yellow. Tabs are securely welded. Inside has oxidized surface rust only. New English Chrome cap comes with it, just not shown. Stamped Made in England. $SOLD

#4 Authentic, used and painted flat black. Rare "Banana" Style Couple very small dent in top right side but can only see at certain angles. Looks like some minor repairs and bondo on a dent in front of the cap on the nose side. Good job repair, and barely noticeable. Vinyl decal "Triumph" on one side. One petcock has been plugged but could easily be tapped and driven out. Underside looks to have several well done repairs on the seams. Tank has been sealed with RedKote. Total runner. $SOLD
