Triumph Trophy description
It's my opinion that only a handful of collectors are looking for concours restored bikes costing upwards of $15,000. Most of us in the Triumph age demographic of 45 to 65 are looking for a handsome and reliable Sunday driver. So, consider this one.
I've sold most of my collection and down to the last few. I bought this numbers matching Trophy a few years ago from a gent who started the restoration and ran out of energy or money or both. The bike was completely disassembled and the motor was redone, so he said. I did not split the cases to verify exactly what was done however, I did pull the head and found new pistons and a fresh valve grind so I made the assumption, based on what I saw, that it was done right. No instruments were with the bike so mileage is unknown. The frame and tins were professionally painted. The tank is a new reproduction. I then went to my inventory to upgrade and/or add items: Seat is Birtish Wassell; fenders are original stainless in very nice condition; rims are Jones and Dunlop with some light pitting, but very presentable; lights are original with Lucas lamp and lens; harness is new British cloth reproduction; exhaust is used but quite nice with proper crossover and I believe it to be original. (As a "C" model, it should have high pipes but I couldn't see spending another $600-$800 to source the correct exhaust which just drives up my cost and your price.) I prefer to use stainless fasteners wherever I can. I added a tach drive as I like the look of both instruments mounted. Gauges are genuine Smiths completely refurbished. New handlebars, throttle, levers, cables, grips and rubbers all around. It's now running an electronic rectifier and a Pazon ignition. Comes with center stand and side stand which both work beautifully. Don't need the wood block. You'll be getting a restored and very desirable TR6C at less than half the above referenced cost. I timed it and set the carb by ear. Starts easily and idles properly but you'll need to re-torque and tweak the tune as you sort it out and run it in. It's fresh with only a few test miles. Signed Michigan title. |
