Triumph 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 launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomize British motorcycles in the post-war years. The single carb Trophy was considered to be the best all round model and proved very popular in the USA, especially in the upswept exhaust 'Desert Race' specification. The home model was named the TR6, whereas the US export models were named TR6C for the competition model and TR6R for the road model. Ruby Red and Silver were used for all models.
In current ownership since 2014, this TR6C was purchased as a restoration project. Subsequently, the machine was the subject of some restoration work and finished to a good standard before seeing some use. Believed to be a correct numbers machine, there is a large paperwork file correct number machine There is a large file of paperwork with receipts for parts purchased. More recently the machine has been in winter storage since October of 2022, however, the vendor had said he ‘will clean and run the TR6C’ before the auction. There is a current V5C accompanying the bike.
