While the best known British sports special is the Norton/Triumph hybrid - the Triton - closely followed by the TriBSA (Triumph/BSA), NorBSA (Norton-BSA) and Norvin (Norton/Vincent), the Trifield (Triumph/Royal Enfield) is comparatively rare. This example of the latter appears to consist of Royal Enfield Bullet or Meteor Minor cycle parts and a unitary construction Triumph Tiger 100 engine. Purchased in February 1975, the Trifield carries a tax disc that expired in December 1974, which is almost certainly when it was last used. Offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed, the machine comes with and old V5 document and an old-style continuation logbook, both of which share the same clerical error: recording the frame number as '11763' instead of '11163'.
