ISDT success in the late 1940s prompted Triumph to adopt the Trophy name for their off-road styled twins. But although it retained its sporting character, the model became more of a roadster as time passed, ending up, in effect, as a single-carburettor Bonneville. More tractable than the Bonnie and more economical too, the Trophy gave little away in terms of outright performance, the bike's standing quarter-mile time and top speed being within a whisker of its twin-carburettor sibling's. Triumph enjoyed a long history of providing machines to police forces around the world, and the example offered here is based on the TR6 roadster, albeit fitted with twin carburettors. The current vendor purchased this TR6P at Bonhams December 2020 Winter sale and has seen little use since then, hence the decision to sell it. Following a period of inactivity, re-commissioning or possibly more extensive restoration will be required before it returns to the road. The machine is offered with expired MoTs and an old-style V5 document.
