Triumph is one of the most iconic and revered names in the history of motorcycling. Established in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made its first motorcycle beginning a continuous run of production under various ownership until its eventual closure in 1983. In 1937 the Edward Turner-designed Speed Twin was released launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomize British motorcycles in the post-war years. By the early 1980s after a failed merger with Norton Villiers, Triumph twins were still being made by the workers co-operative in Meridan. One of the last new models to be launched before its eventual demise was the Tiger Trail, a model aimed squarely at BMWs R80GS large capacity trail bike.
According to the Triumph Owner’s Club, the first TR7T was produced on the 5th May 1981 and a total of 146 were built up to the 3rd of December with an additional 9 being built in 1982, the last being produced on the 15th of September. Looking at the frame number EDA 30008, it suggests that this is one of the early production models assembled in May 1981 with the factory numbering system starting at EDA 30001 that month. Its actual date of first registration is 23rd of February, 1984, so presumably, it sat in a dealer’s showroom for a while before being sold. From a deceased estate, this bike has only had one enthusiast owner from new, who treasured and cared for it throughout its life. Supplied with an original owner’s handbook and a V5 registration document. Not run for a while, it will need recommissioning before use.
