The genesis of the model came with the introduction of the 650cc Thunderbird Model in 1950. This was released to meet the demand for higher-capacity motorcycles, particularly from the United States, Triumph's largest export market. In 1954, the T110 model was introduced, a higher performance version of the Thunderbird. The success of these models and the 500cc TR5 Trophy led to the creation of a 650cc TR6 Trophy model. The TR6 was developed and produced specifically for the US market, in particular, California desert racing.
On offer is a 1958 Triumph TR6, this machine has had a previous long-term ownership before the current vendor purchased it. The TR6 was subject to a concours restoration by the previous owner some years ago and has not been used much since its completion. It has formed part of a collection of machines since purchased by the current vendor. Some recommissioning may be required before putting it back on the road. The TR6 comes complete with a current V5C.
