1974 Triumph 490cc TR5T Trophy Trail Registration no. WHJ 320M Frame no. HJ56642 Engine no. HJ56642 Also known as the 'Adventurer', the Trophy Trail was introduced in November 1972. A new off-road model, the TR5T deployed Triumph's 490cc twin-cylinder engine in a chassis looking 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, though the 500cc models were dropped once the backlog of machines impounded at the factory had been cleared. The machine offered here is one of the relatively few built for the 1974 model year. Previously registered/used overseas, it was first registered in the UK in April 1992 and last taxed to the end of October 1999, which is almost certainly when it was last used. Accompanying documentation consists of SORN paperwork, two expired MoTs, and old/current V5C Registration Certificates. This machine is offered for re-commissioning/restoration and sold strictly as viewed. Fußnoten As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.
