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 Triples did more than enough on the racetrack to ensure their place in motorcycling history. Dick Mann's BSA won at Daytona in 1971 and John Cooper, also BSA-mounted, at Mallory Park's Race of the Year, vanquishing the hitherto unbeatable combination of Giacomo Agostini and MV. Percy Tait and Ray Pickrell had won the 24-hour Bol d'Or endurance race the preceding week on another Triple, and Cooper wrapped up a memorable international season with victory in the 250-mile race at Ontario in October. As a production racer the Triple was equally dominant, as the number of important victories achieved (most notably by the works Triumph 'Slippery Sam') is eloquent testimony. This mildly customised T150V was purchased for the collection in April 2004 and comes with an old-style V5C document. A total of 23,091 miles is displayed on the odometer.
