Triumph enjoyed a long history of providing machines to police forces around the world, and the machine offered here - based on the T100R sports roadster but to broadly police specification - was first registered in July 1973, making it one of the very last 500cc models built at the Meriden factory. By that time the BSA/Triumph Group was in severe financial difficulty and the proposed closure of Triumph's Meriden factory led to the workforce occupying the plant in September 1973. When the factory eventually reopened properly in March 1975, the two 500cc models in production immediately prior to the shutdown – the Daytona-derived T100R and the TR5T Trophy Trail – were not revived.
As well as the police, another organisation that continued to favour motorcycles for patrol work was the Automobile Association, whose distinctive yellow-liveried machines, ridden by patrolmen wearing military-style khaki uniforms, were a regular sight on British roads well into the 1970s. 'PMG 292L' comes with an expired MoT (1979) and a (part) old-style V5 document listing the owner as Automobile Association Transport Dept of London W1.
