Vehicle Detail
You are looking at a ultra rare 1953 Triumph TRW. The Triumph TRW was designed in 1943, but by the time the bike was finished, the war was over and the military had a surplus of bikes left over. In 1948 the TRW was released in it's final form and were sold to the British Army as well as other branches of the military, at home and abroad. This continued until the 1960s. The TRW was used by various countries for Military purposes around the world, including; Canada, Pakistan, Holland, Germany, and South Africa. This Triumph is one example of a mostly original TRW. And yes the engine and frame numbers match. There is also a title for this rare machine. I do have the original seat material and passenger seat that go with the bike, along with some other parts, which the buyer will have to pick up or ship. Please see the slideshow pictures to see them. I did get this TRW running for a quick video just to show she does want to run but I am still going to list her has a non running project, as she does need the tires replaced, and I am sure some tinkering. When I did have her running, the brakes worked correctly, she shifted correctly, all lights worked, also the speedometer and power meter worked. She was running on all cylinders and pumping oil properly. The bike is not perfect as there are some nicks, scratches, and wear, but If you know what this bike is then you know how rare they are, so I am going to let my video, slideshow and pictures do the talking. But please if you have any questions or concerns, ask before bidding, as I will be happy to answer them. Check out the 68 picture slideshow I provided in the listing and a quick video of her driving down the road. I am selling this one at a NO RESERVE starting at one dollar, so don't miss out. This is a NO RESERVE auction. All sales are final, and there are no refunds or returns, and inspections are recommended. No warranties expressed or implied , and a as is where is sale.
