1971 Triumph T150 Trident, 750cc. Registration number WWT 183J. Frame number DE00877 T150T. Engine number T150T DE00877.
Sold with the V5C, key, Triumph Owners Club dating and various receipts for the rebuild.
Launched in 1969, the BSA-Triumph 750cc triples were based on the existing Triumph 500cc twin-cylinder engine, being in essence a 'Tiger-and-a-half'. Differences between the Triumph Trident and BSA Rocket 3 were more than just cosmetic: the two models used different frames and in BSA guise the motor featured an inclined cylinder block. Only the Trident survived the group's collapse in 1972, continuing as the five-speed T150V and later the T160 (using the inclined engine).
WWT was originally exported to Australia and repatriated some 30 years ago. In 2018 it was bought by Mike Bradshaw from John Toomey, as a project in bits. The and swinging arm had been powder coated. Bradshaw then set about the restoration, spending some £4,400 on parts but never completed the project. Our vendor bought it in 2018 and completed the works, including stainless rim and spoke rebuild and new Amal carbs. By 2020 it was on the road with an indicated mileage of 13,364, in 2021 he rebuilt the front forks. It was serviced in September 2026 ready or the auction. He has travelled some 1,100 miles during his custodianship.
Sold with a large folder of receipts for parts and a service book.
