Following the wholesale frame changes of the late 'pre-unit' era, Triumph introduced a single down-tube design on the 650cc 'unit' twins in 1963, although even this would undergo several detail alterations over the next eight years. The most important 'tweak' to the Trophy/Bonneville frame was made for the 1967 model year, when a shallower steering head angle was adopted in the interests of better high-speed stability. By this time Triumph's two '650' sportsters had been updated with 12-volt electrics and a full-width 8" front brake, while other significant improvements for 1967 included a new oil pump and an increase in the Trophy's compression ratio to 9.0:1, same as the Bonneville's.
Offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed, this TR6 Trophy has not been ridden for around 15 years; however, the engine has been regularly turned over and, following an oil change, was started in January 2023. The machine comes with two old-style continuation logbooks from the 1970s. It should be noted that the registration 'JDP 117E' is not recorded in the HPI/DVLA database. Accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to the validity of the vehicle's registration number prior to bidding. Prospective bidders should also satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's completeness, originality and mechanical condition. There is no engine number visible, and the 'TR6' engine number prefix appears to be a non-factory stamp. Keys present.
