After years of success with its twins, Triumph decided to go one better in the 1960s and bring out the Trident, using an inline-triple of 750cc. Launched in the summer of 1968 with its BSA Rocket III sister, the Trident was tested up to an impressive 117mph by Cycle World, but was unfortunately overshadowed by the launch of Honda’s four-cylinder CB750 a few weeks later. The original T150 model was supplanted by the T150V in 1971, which boasted a fifth speed and a front disc brake, and was itself succeeded by the T160 for 1975.

This lovely example was in single ownership from 1989 to 2016, and then entered a private collection until 2025. Our vendor (the sixth registered keeper) purchased it as a recommissioning project in October, 2025, and has succeeded in getting it back to a roadworthy standard after the ultrasonic cleaning of the carburettors, and the fitment of various new parts including the seat, the brake master cylinder, electronic ignition, improved rear shock absorbers, stainless fasteners and other sundries. Supplied with a V5C and said to be running very well, it would be a treat to have the Trident on the road for its first summer out of doors in several years.
