1968 Triumph Trophy

Clear

Time to say goodbye to my dream bike My wife pointed out that my sons college education is more important plus the bikes in her name 1968 Triumph TR6 Trophy Sport 650cc Single Carb-fully restored This bike was a barn find and was resurrected by a professional restoration artist in Florida. I hired him years ago to do this restoration. Lou did a magnificent job and covered every detail possible. The bike comes with all of the invoices for the various services and parts used to create what I would rate as a 9+ restoration. I would give it a 10 except I am not an expert. I am sure a true aficionado would find some bolt that was not genuine or something. What I do know is I wanted a bike that was the same as the original I rode in High School. This is as good as I have ever seen. Everything was in place when I took delivery and I added two minor things. Lou did not coat the inside of the tank and he did not include the center stand. I call her “Sporty” and she has a center stand and an inner tank coating to protect her for decades. I am going to look through the invoices Lou sent with the bike and do my best to cover all that he did on this restoration. It will just be a laundry list with pricing because I really don’t know what it all is. I ride bikes (only a little over 700 miles on her since completed in 2015) but I know next to nothing about working on these bikes. I got to know Lou during our dealings together and he is true to his word and then still backs it up with documentation. You will get all of the documentation sent via FedEx once our deal is finished. What I do know from decades of running my own businesses, is what the value is here, so let’s be clear…..I will not be hustled out of this bike….I know what I paid and have been watching sales on these English beauties for years. I have well over a hundred images of the bike in various stages of restoration for those interested. Text me at 714608 4330 and I will send you the photos.

If you are expert on these things you will know how detailed the restoration is but if you are like me, just the pure volume of parts coming in from all over the globe gives a clue as to how incredible this work of art became. The bike has current California registration good thru April 2018 Has legal title. Matching numbers of course. I tend to ignore low-ballers and that weird group of people that bid on these things and then never pay. The bike will simply be re-listed three days after closing bid if no payment is received. I will require the standard non-refundable $500.00 deposit and balance prior to shipping or pick up.
