First registered on 29th July 1974, this Triumph Trident was purchased by the vendor in 1982 in Milan, Italy. When purchased the machine had already been fitted with a 1972 four-speed engine and was in café racer guise complete with a 3-into-1 exhaust. In the late 1980s the owner decided to transform the Trident into a more comfortable mount, fitting a stock seat, a Menani flat handlebar, and Menani footrests. Other noteworthy features include Boyer electronic ignition; Marzocchi front forks; Scarab twin front disc brakes; Borrani alloy wheel rims; and an upswept 'Ray Gun' exhaust system. We are advised by the vendor that the engine has been overhauled by Roberto Pasqualotto, who was trained by renowned marque specialist the late Les Williams (see recent bill on file). The vendor describes the condition of the engine as 'excellent' and that of the frame and cycle parts as 'acceptable', saying of the Triumph: "It is very fast and impressively stable on the road." The machine comes with an alternative pair of silencers, a pair of clip-on handlebars, and a solo seat moulding, and is offered with Italian registration papers.
