1959 Triumph Trophy

Salvage

I HAVE DONE A LITTLE RESEARCH AND THIS MIGHT BE A RARE COMPETITION MODEL TRIUMPH T65R. I'M NOT A TRIUMPH EXPERT SO I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE, IF SOMEONE ELSE KNOWS I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR ABOUT IT. THE PICTURES PRETTY MUCH SAY'S IT ALL. I HAVE HAD IT RUNNING AND IT SOUNDED REALLY GOOD. IT SEEMS TO BE A GOOD ENGINE, NO SMOKE. IT DOES HAVE A MAJOR OIL LEAK WHILE RUNNING. I CAN'T TELL WHERE IT'S COMING FROM, BUT SOMEWHERE UNDERNEATH THE ENGINE. I DON'T THINK THIS IS THE GAS TANK SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS MODEL, BUT IT DOES WORK. LOT'S OF GOOD PARTS OR MAKE IT INTO A COOL 60'S VINTAGE OFF ROAD BIKE. BECAUSE I'M SURE THAT IS WHAT IT WAS USED FOR. I BELIEVE IT HAS LIVED IN THE PORTLAND OR AREA ALL IT'S LIFE BECAUSE IT HAS A "CONNELLEY CAM" EMBLEM ON THE RIGHT SIDE ENGINE COVER, AND PAT CONNELLY LIVED IN PORTLAND OR. PROBABLY HAS SOME LOCAL HISTORY. THE BIKE DOES NOT HAVE A TITILE. BILL OF SALE ONLY. I REQUIRE A 500.00 DEPOSIT VIA PAY PAL WITHIN 48 HOURS OF THE END OF THE AUCTION. THE BALANCE DUE WITHIN 7 DAYS OF THE END OF AUCTION. BUYER TO ARRANGE AND PAY FOR SHIPPING.THANKS.

PROBABLY QUITE RARE. THE FRAME # IS H21286, AND THE ENGINE IS TR5R H21286.
