Lot 66
A 1964 Triumph TRW, registration number 961 KAC, frame number 28984NA, silver. Ex Royal Signals White Helmet Display Team. The TRW was developed in the immediate post war WWII years to fulfil the demands of the British Military Contracts for a no nonsense and robust work horse motorcycle. They followed traditional lines with a side valve parallel twin 500cc displacement engine, telescopic front forks and rigid frame. Many were subsequently offered to the general public at the end of their service life. This particular TRW was supplied on loan by Triumph to the world famous Royal Signals White Helmet Display Team. The vendor advises us that the Triumph received a new works replacement engine when the bike was returned for service after the first season. It still retains this engine today and carries the original engine number. He further advises us that the motorcycle is presented in good older restored condition. The Triumph will be offered for auction with a copy of the works record confirming its White Helmet Display Team status, photographs of the bike in action, an original white helmet and miscellaneous items. Coming direct from the serviceman, who rode this bike in period, it offers the next custodian an opportunity to own a piece of motorcycle history. V5C, MOT to April 2018, tax exempt See illustrations
