One of the most important developments in the history of Triumph's long-running parallel twin was the introduction of unitary construction of the engine and gearbox in 1957, commencing with the 350cc 'Twenty-One' (later 3TA). The 500s went unitary the following year but it was not until 1962 that this more modern form of construction was extended to the 650s. A new alloy cylinder head was adopted at the same time and the engine/gearbox unit went into a new single down-tube frame with bolt-on rear sub-frame. Three 650s were offered initially: the Thunderbird tourer, Trophy trail bike, and Bonneville sports roadster. Triumph enjoyed a long history of providing machines to police forces around the world, the Thunderbird roadster being known as the Saint when built to police specification.
This 6T is believed to be an ex-Metropolitan Police Saint. Offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed, the machine comes with an old-style continuation logbook (issued October 1970), an old-style V5 registration document, and some expired MoTs from the 1990s.
