First seen at the disastrous group launch of November 1970, which effectively sounded the company's death knell, BSA-Triumph's revamped range for 1971 included five BSA and two Triumph singles, all sporting the new oil-bearing frame and conical-hub brakes. In an act of shameless badge engineering, the two Triumph 250s were nothing more than BSAs with Triumph written on the tank, which can hardly have endeared them to die-hard Triumph enthusiasts. The four 250s continued to use the existing B25 engine in virtually unchanged form while the larger BSA B50 models were now a full 500cc. The famous Gold Star name was revived for the BSAs, much to the chagrin of motorcycling traditionalists, while the 250 Triumphs became the T25SS Blazer SS sports roadster and T25T Trail Blazer trail bike. Despite adequate performance and excellent handling, the newcomers were swamped by the tide of financial failure which soon overtook BSA-Triumph, the 250s disappearing in August 1971 and the 500s the following year.

Believed original and un-restored, this rare Triumph single currently displays a total of 14,137 miles on the odometer. The machine is offered with V5 registration document.
