Launched in the UK in 1969, the BSA-Triumph 750cc triples were based on the existing Triumph 500cc twin-cylinder engine, being in essence a 'Tiger-and-a-half'. Differences between the Triumph Trident and BSA Rocket 3 were more than just cosmetic: the two models used different frames and in BSA guise the motor featured an inclined cylinder block. Only the Trident survived the group's collapse in 1972, continuing as the five-speed T150V and later the T160 (using the inclined engine).
Although ultimately upstaged in the showroom by Japanese rivals, the Triumph and BSA 750 triples did more than enough on the racetrack to ensure their place in motorcycling history. The works triples won at Daytona, the Bol d'Or, and Ontario in 1971, while as a production racer they were equally dominant as the number of important race victories achieved (most notably by the works Triumph 'Slippery Sam') is eloquent testimony. Today the BSA-Triumph triples enjoy an enthusiastic following worldwide and are supported by a first-rate owners' club - the T&R3OC - and numerous recognised specialists.
Previously displayed at an exhibition in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the T150 offered here appears to retain its original paintwork and is presented in very nice condition. Last taxed to 30th November 1984, the machine is offered with an old V5 document.
