Triumph is one of the most iconic and revered names in the history of motorcycling. 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. The single carb Trophy was considered to be the best all round model and proved very popular in the USA, especially in the upswept exhaust 'Desert Race' specification. The home model was named the TR6, whereas the US export models were named TR6C for the competition model and TR6R for the road model. Ruby Red and Silver were used for all models.
This 1968 Triumph TR6C has been in the family for many years as a restoration project. When the vendor's father passed away it was left to his son who in turn set about to completely restore the Triumph to a high standard. The machine has been completely stripped and restored where necessary (with lots of new parts), re-chromed where it was needed and benefitted from a professional paint job. We have been advised that the Triumph is running well. Sadly, in all the years the vendor's farther had the machine it had no documentation, so it will need to be registered again with the DVLA.
