Nottingham registered TR6
Reported to have been started recently and has been the subject of restoration
In very tidy condition although not used on the road recently
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.
This Nottingham registered TR6 is reported to have been started recently and has been the subject of a restoration remaining in very tidy condition though not used on the road recently. The vendor therefore suggests recommissioning and a check over prior to use. Attractively presented in ‘Street Scrambler style with high level twin exhausts and high bars, the machine comes with paperwork which includes a number of old MOTs dating back to 2007, old tax discs, Owners Handbook, current and old V5C and sundry receipts. Please note the frame number quoted is recorded on the V5C but has not been located on frame itself.
