Great bike. I like the TR6's over the Bonnevilles. That mist green and alaskan white is one of my favorite color combos. From what I've seen they only did it on the 67 TR6... and the US version paint job is slightly different. Less white, more green. (The only slash of white is coming down from under the badge.) On the UK version, like the one in his video, the white carries back over and around the tank pad. They both look great.
There'll never be the need to sell the family silver, with that van reg. plate. BSA 1, must be worth a small fortune ! Best regards from Burry Port, 15 miles west of Swansea.
Sounds like it's on consignment... so maybe the family of the owner (who passed away) set the price. Or perhaps he guys dying words were "don't take a cent under 10 for my Trophy." It's certainly a beautiful example of a 67 TR6 (with some 68 parts fitted according to the comment above. Maybe the front brake is 68, I'm not sure). Realistically it's probably worth 1 or 2 grand less than what they're asking. The vintage triumph market seems a little soft at the moment. It's still cheaper than a brand new Bonneville. I'd take that 67 over a modern triumph any day of the week.
@@daveco1270 Agreed- I have one that I just finished restoring. The front Brake is a 69 or 70. The 68 TLS had a different cable routing and didnt have the forked front lever arrangement. Funnily enough, I put a 68 version on my 67. Call me odd. but I like stopping almost as much as accellerating! Kept the original though for the purists, should I ever sell it......

What rims does it have on it.... they look alloy ?

Has it gold pistons or something?
