Registration No: PMP 872R Frame No: KK06214 MOT: ExemptA UK-supplied Triumph Trident T160 from newSome restoration by the previous owner to a good standardMany new parts fitted from L.P WilliamsA current V5C and receipts on fileTriumph is one of the most iconic and revered names in the history of motorcycling. Established in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made its first motorcycle beginning a continuous run of production under various ownership until its eventual closure in 1983. In 1937 the Edward Turner-designed Speed Twin was released, thus launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomize British motorcycles in the post-war years. The 3-cylinder 750cc Trident was essentially one and a half 500cc twins and proved to be the last success story for the company, with the bike going on to dominate the early years of the Formula 750 race series. This 1975 Triumph Trident T160, with its striking livery, is a genuine UK-supplied T160 from new. The Trident presents very well and has formed part of a private collection since it was acquired by the current vendor. The previous owner has carried out some restoration work on the T160 to a good standard with the engine having been stripped and rebuilt using some upgrade parts such as Tri-Spark ignition, 12v coil, negative earth with relays, high-output battery, plasma coated valves, Cosibro guides, Hepolite pistons with Omega rings, a re-ground crank with shells and screws and a new machined clutch, with the majority of the parts and work having been supplied by L. P Williams. Although the machine has been started from time to time, some general checks may be required before use. The Triumph is offered with a current V5C, receipts from LP Williams and a purchase receipt. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217
Registration No: SFR 584J Frame No: DC02984 MOT: ExemptEarly drum-braked version of the Trident T150TFitted with an electric start and Tri-Spark ignitionSupplied with many receipts and a current V5CTriumph is one of the most iconic and revered names in the history of motorcycling. Established in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made its first motorcycle beginning a continuous run of production under various ownership until its eventual closure in 1983. In 1937 the Edward Turner-designed Speed Twin was released, thus launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomise British motorcycles in the post-war years. The 3-cylinder 750cc Trident was essentially one and a half 500cc twins and proved to be the last success story for the company, with the bike going on to dominate the early years of the Formula 750 race series. Styled by Ogle Design with its distinctive 'Ray Gun' silencers and squared-off petrol tank, the first models were fitted with front drum brakes. This look proved to be unpopular at the time and later models resorted to a more traditional Triumph layout with a rounded fuel tank and round silencers. Today, classic collectors look at the first models with more affection and they have become the most collectible of the triple series. The numbers reveal this machine was manufactured in April 1969, the first year of production but was first registered in 1970. In 2020 it was the subject of a full restoration by the vendor, a former owner of Triumph specialist L. P Williams, as a bike to be ridden and enjoyed. The cycle parts were refinished, a quality UK wiring loom has been fitted together with a Tri-Spark ignition kit and a Madigan electric starter motor fitted using T160 clutch housing. The engine has had a major overhaul, the crank has been lightened and balanced with +020" shells and mains, bores honed with good quality Goetze rings fitted and the head inspected and fitted with short valves, springs and mushroom adjusters. The primary drive has also been overhauled, the clutch lightened and balanced with a new thicker clutch plate and all engine and gearbox bearings replaced with quality items. Fuelling has been looked after by a bank of new Amal carbs. The bike comes supplied with over 40 receipts, including ones from the recent restoration adding up to over £4,000, and a current V5C. A very well-sorted early Trident that has been rebuilt to ride by a recognised marque specialist for his own personal use.
