The Trophy could trace its origins back to the machines successfully campaigned in the 1948 ISDT. When introduced to the public it quickly became apparent that its forte did not lie in section trials but in the world of long distance events of the type that were becoming increasingly popular in the United States. As introduced in 1949 the Trophy utilised a rigid frame unique to the model housing an all alloy 500cc engine with squarish barrels and head of a type employed on the generator set manufactured by Triumph for the RAF during the war. The next significant change occurred in 1955 when the model adopted the pivoted fork frame.

This TR5 has not been finished due to the late vendor's passing, although a great deal of hard work has previously gone into the restoration. It is a correct numbers machine showing some attention to detail within the previous restoration process. It has not been run and the wiring needs to be finished, along with other sundry items. There is a current V5C on file but sadly no other paperwork.
