The Triumph Trophy was originally conceived as a competition machine with a 500cc engine and rigid frame, but once Triumph had introduced the 650cc engine, the Trophy transformed over the years into more of a touring bike with competition variants.

D13536 has been confirmed to be a TR6R Trophy, despatched to a dealer in Bishop Auckland on 5th May 1961. Indeed, the present colour scheme is that of a Trophy of that time, and it is wearing a 3 gallon petrol tank appropriate to the model. However, the engine number has been re-stamped with a T120R number, and it is fitted with a Bonneville splayed cylinder head, the optional tachometer and drive cover, and has also been fitted with indicators.

Nothing is known of the history of D13536, which is part of a private collection of machines. There are no documents present; the machine will re quire safety checks and re-commissioning, and is sold strictly as viewed. We have no knowledge of its mechanical condition, except that the engine turns over. Prospective bidders should satisfy themselves as to the age, completeness and originality of the machine, together with the vintage and compatibility of its component parts prior to bidding.
