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, 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.
