Developed in the immediate post-WW2 years to fulfil British Government contracts for a new military motorcycle, the TRW followed the overall lines of Triumph’s trend-setting parallel twins but with the simpler and more easily maintained side valves rather then the civilian models’ overhead valves. In keeping with the military’s requirements for robustness and simplicity, the TRW retained a rigid frame while featuring Triumph’s telescopic front fork as used by many models across the range. When their service life came to an end, many were offered for sale by the Ministry of Defence on the civilian market. Finished in ‘Army Green’, this dry-stored example has not been used for some time but nevertheless affords the prospect of a rewarding restoration project for the military motorcycle collector. The machine comes with Swansea V5 and is sold strictly as viewed.
