Lot 529

Property of a deceased's estate, 1970 Triumph 250cc TR25W Trophy

Property of a deceased's estate
1970 Triumph 250cc TR25W Trophy
Registration no. YBB 568H
Frame no. GD12882TR25W
Engine no. GD 12882TR25W

An unashamed exercise in 'badge engineering', the Triumph TR25W Trophy was basically the BSA B25 Starfire in a new set of clothes. There were numerous cosmetic changes to identify the new model as a Triumph, while those of greater engineering significance included an alteration in gearing, adoption of larger wheel sizes, and fitting of an upswept exhaust system to suit the Trophy's intended role as a trail bike. Introduced in 1968, the Trophy continued with relatively minor changes until BSA-Triumph's major revamp of its range in 1970 brought with it a new 'oil bearing' frame, conical hubs, and a change of name to 'Blazer', with Street Scrambler and Trail versions available also.

This TR25W was purchased by the late owner in 2022 and used sparingly; no previous history is known. Not started recently, the machine will require recommissioning before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed (the engine turns over). The Triumph is offered with a V5C, HPI report, owner's handbook, various invoices, and the purchase receipt from 2022. It should be noted that the HPI and V5C list both the frame and engine number as '12882', omitting the prefix and suffix. The HPI also records a colour change from maroon/white (to red) on 20th April 2010 and the date of first UK registration as 2nd September 1959, the latter an obvious error.
