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 before its rebirth in the early 1990s. 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. Many believe the various Bonneville, Tiger and Trophy models to be the ultimate version of the classic British vertical twin and the late 1969/1970 pre oil-in-frame models represent the peak of development of Triumph's most iconic model.

Like many Triumphs built in the 1960s and early 1970s, this matching numbers Trophy appears to have spent most of its life in the USA before being repatriated in 2013. It has been restored to a good standard with a view to it being ridden with the addition of 12v electrics, indicators and period correct Dunlop K70s. This Trophy has been part of an enthusiast private collection of British classics for a few years, only selling now to make space in his garage for other projects, not run for a while it will need some recommissioning but the engine turns over on the kickstarter and it comes with a current V5C. The unit construction pre oil-in-frame models are some of the most sought-after bikes from the era.
