Property of a deceased's estate
1960 Triumph 649cc TR6 Trophy
Registration no. 361 XUB
Frame no. D1272
Engine no. TR6 D1272

This pre-unit TR6 Trophy was purchased by the late owner on 18th June 2019 from a Mr McAllister (purchase receipt on file). Sadly, the late owner never got the chance to ride the machine and it has been garaged since purchase. A family friend last started the machine approximately six months ago; however, it has not been ridden any distance and will therefore require re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent before further use (the engine turns over with compression). The V5C Registration Certificate lists a first UK registration date of 1st March 2007, which is presumably around when the machine was re-imported/repatriated to the UK (presumably by Mr McAllister). The late owner's widow knows nothing of the machine's history or the restoration, which may have been completed prior to being re-imported in 2007. Six MoT certificates on file show the recorded mileage rising from 1 mile in February 2007 to 4,855 in May 2012. Further MoT history online shows that another certificate was issued on 11th August 2017 at 5,224 miles (the current odometer reading is 5,472 miles). Additional documentation consists of a VMCC frame/engine number dating statement.

Saleroom notices
