"A former 500cc motocross Grand Prix winner, gold medallist in the International Six Days Trial, no mean grass track racer, and a brilliant trials rider, Arthur rode into history when he won the 1963 Scottish Six Days." - On Two Wheels.

This Triumph Trophy was purchased by Arthur Lampkin at some point between the early 1970s and 1983, and was owned by him until late in 1990 (see letter on file). Our vendor acquired the machine on 1st October 1990.
From the time of its introduction in 1948 the Triumph Trophy established itself 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 power of the tunable Triumph twin worked to its advantage and its weight was less of a handicap.
An older restoration, the Triumph currently displays a total of 5,982 miles on the odometer and will require recommissioning before further use. Accompanying documentation consists of an old-style continuation logbook from the 1970s; some expired MoTs; old/current V5/V5C documents; and an HPI check sheet. It should be noted that HPI states that the vehicle is blue and was previously black/silver, while both the HPI and V5Cs list the frame and engine number as 'TR5 13353MA'.
