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 closure in 1983, eventually enjoying a rebirth in the early 1990s. Triumph was actually taken over by the BSA group in 1953, however, the two companies kept up a fierce rivalry until they began to share designs in the late 1960s in an effort to ward off the onslaught of the Japanese manufacturers. The TR25W Trophy was Triumph's Street/Scrambler model, a style that was popular in the USA, and was launched to replace the Tiger Cub. The bike was based on the BSA B25 range and was built at the Small Heath BSA plant rather than at Triumph’s Meriden factory.

This matching numbers TR25 project is from a deceased estate and is being offered at 'no reserve'. First registered in March 1969, it was bought by the vendor in 1995 from what appears to have been its first owner. Not much is known of its history, but it is obviously an unfinished project supplied with a number of parts including a new Amal carb, alloy mudguards, upswept exhaust, seat, repainted fuel tank and rebuilt wheels. Assembled loosely for the photos, it appears to have most of the major parts. An interesting project to either restore to standard or form the basis of a special off-road model or cafe racer. A V5C accompanies the machine.
