Also known as the 'Adventurer', the Trophy Trail was introduced in November 1972. A new off-road model, the TR5T deployed Triumph's existing 500cc twin-cylinder engine in a chassis that looked remarkably similar to that of the single-cylinder BSA Victor. The workers' occupation of Triumph's Meriden factory in the autumn of 1973 halted production, which did not resume fully until March 1975. The 500cc models were dropped once the backlog of machines impounded at the factory had been cleared, but before then a number had been released in the preceding autumn. With the Trophy Trail's passing, Triumph's long line of enduro-styled half-litre roadsters, which stretched back to the original Trophy of 1948, came sadly to an end. Brought back to this country from the USA and purchased from Boyer Racing in November 2003, this example has covered only 694 miles since restoration and is described as 'like new'. Last MoT'd and taxed for the road to November 2004, the machine is offered with Swansea V5 registration document.
