From the time of its introduction in 1948, the Trophy was established as a true all-rounder: a machine that could be ridden to work during the week and then, with extraneous components removed, competed on at weekends in its owner's chosen branch of motorcycle sport. Although catalogued primarily as a trials machine, its true forte was scrambles and the ISDT, events in which the twin-cylinder engine's power worked to its advantage and its weight was less of a handicap. Nevertheless, the TR5 remained an extremely competent and stylish roadster until the end of production in 1958. Consisting of non-matching frame and engine, the former dating from 1952 and the latter from 1951, this incomplete Trophy is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed. The machine was purchased from a Government sale at Ruddington in May 1974.
