1967 Triumph 650cc TR6 TrophyRegistration no. JDP 117E (see text)Frame no. TR6 DU 58556Engine no. TR6 (see text)Following the wholesale frame changes of the late 'pre-unit' era, Triumph introduced a single down-tube design on the 650cc 'unit' twins in 1963, although even this would undergo several detail alterations over the next eight years. The most important 'tweak' to the Trophy/Bonneville frame was made for the 1967 model year, when a shallower steering head angle was adopted in the interests of better high-speed stability. By this time Triumph's two '650' sportsters had been updated with 12-volt electrics and a full-width 8' front brake, while other significant improvements for 1967 included a new oil pump and an increase in the Trophy's compression ratio to 9.0:1, same as the Bonneville's. Offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed, this TR6 Trophy has not been ridden for around 15 years; however, the engine has been regularly turned over and, following an oil change, was started in January 2023. The machine comes with two old-style continuation logbooks from the 1970s. It should be noted that the registration 'JDP 117E' is not recorded in the HPI/DVLA database. Accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to the validity of the vehicle's registration number prior to bidding. Prospective bidders should also satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's completeness, originality and mechanical condition. There is no engine number visible, and the 'TR6' engine number prefix appears to be a non-factory stamp. Keys present.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Ich habe Monate in der Druckerei in Campalto verbracht, während ich auf der "Regentag" nicht weit davon in einem Kanal der Lagune bei Ca'Noghera lag. Es war wie ein Simultan-Schachspiel mit über vierzig Gegnern. Ich tat dies noch konsequenter mit dem späteren Siebruck 860 Homo Humus come va. Ich glaube nicht, dass mir jemand dieses gigantische Unternehmen gleichtun kann, das mich zwei Jahre beanspruchte. Ich verwendete völlig neue Techniken in der Druckgraphik: Metallprägedruck, Phosphorfarben, die in der Nacht leuchten, reflektierende Glasperlen-Aufdrucke, konvexe Prägungen und eine unglaubliche Anzahl von Farbüberdrucken, die ich einzeln auf Transparentfolien malte und die dann auf Sieb übertragen wurden. Dann die Probedrucke der unendlich gewordenen Farbkombinationen. Ich wollte das Fließband ad absurdum führen. In die Enge getrieben, zwischen einer unglaublich einsetzenden Nachfrage und meinem Stolz, Originale und nicht Massenware zu schaffen, und bestrebt, soviel von meinem inneren Selbst wie nur möglich zu geben. Es kam zu einem Prozess, den ich auch gewann, weil ich die Preise (…) niedrig halten wollte - 100 Mark pro Blatt, damit es vielen zugänglich ist. Es war verlorene Mühe. Den freien Marktwert konnte ich nicht bestimmen. Es war Sieg und Niederlage zugleich. (aus: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Bd. 2, Taschen, Köln 2002, S. 812)Hundertwasser's comment on the work:This is my first large print edition, which I numbered from beginning to end; but actually it isn't one, since it consists of many variations. (…) I spent months in the print shop in Campalto, while the Regentag lay in berth not far away, in a canal of the lagoon near Ca' Noghera. It was like a simultaneous chess match with more than forty opponents. I did this even more radically later with the silkscreen print 860 Homo Humus come va. I don't think anyone can outdo me in this gigantic enterprise, which took up two years of my life. I used completely new techniques in print graphics: metallic-stamp printing, phosphorescent colours that glow in the dark, reflecting glass-bead appliqués, convex embossing and an incredible number of colour overprints which I painted separately on transparent foil, from where they were transferred to the screen. Then the proofs of the infinite number of colour combinations. I wanted to reduce the conveyor belt to absurdity. I got myself into a bind between the incredible demand which had materialised and my pride in creating something original, not mass-produced, and I wanted to give as much of my inner self as I could. I went to court and won because I wanted to keep the prices low (…) - 100 marks per print, to make it accessible to many people. It was all for nought. I could not fix the price on the open market. It was a victory and a defeat all in one. (from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, pp. 812-813)

Ich habe Monate in der Druckerei in Campalto verbracht, während ich auf der "Regentag" nicht weit davon in einem Kanal der Lagune bei Ca'Noghera lag. Es war wie ein Simultan-Schachspiel mit über vierzig Gegnern. Ich tat dies noch konsequenter mit dem späteren Siebruck 860 Homo Humus come va. Ich glaube nicht, dass mir jemand dieses gigantische Unternehmen gleichtun kann, das mich zwei Jahre beanspruchte. Ich verwendete völlig neue Techniken in der Druckgraphik: Metallprägedruck, Phosphorfarben, die in der Nacht leuchten, reflektierende Glasperlen-Aufdrucke, konvexe Prägungen und eine unglaubliche Anzahl von Farbüberdrucken, die ich einzeln auf Transparentfolien malte und die dann auf Sieb übertragen wurden. Dann die Probedrucke der unendlich gewordenen Farbkombinationen. Ich wollte das Fließband ad absurdum führen. In die Enge getrieben, zwischen einer unglaublich einsetzenden Nachfrage und meinem Stolz, Originale und nicht Massenware zu schaffen, und bestrebt, soviel von meinem inneren Selbst wie nur möglich zu geben. Es kam zu einem Prozess, den ich auch gewann, weil ich die Preise (…) niedrig halten wollte - 100 Mark pro Blatt, damit es vielen zugänglich ist. Es war verlorene Mühe. Den freien Marktwert konnte ich nicht bestimmen. Es war Sieg und Niederlage zugleich. (aus: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Bd. 2, Taschen, Köln 2002, S. 812)Hundertwasser's comment on the work:This is my first large print edition, which I numbered from beginning to end; but actually it isn't one, since it consists of many variations. (…) I spent months in the print shop in Campalto, while the Regentag lay in berth not far away, in a canal of the lagoon near Ca' Noghera. It was like a simultaneous chess match with more than forty opponents. I did this even more radically later with the silkscreen print 860 Homo Humus come va. I don't think anyone can outdo me in this gigantic enterprise, which took up two years of my life. I used completely new techniques in print graphics: metallic-stamp printing, phosphorescent colours that glow in the dark, reflecting glass-bead appliqués, convex embossing and an incredible number of colour overprints which I painted separately on transparent foil, from where they were transferred to the screen. Then the proofs of the infinite number of colour combinations. I wanted to reduce the conveyor belt to absurdity. I got myself into a bind between the incredible demand which had materialised and my pride in creating something original, not mass-produced, and I wanted to give as much of my inner self as I could. I went to court and won because I wanted to keep the prices low (…) - 100 marks per print, to make it accessible to many people. It was all for nought. I could not fix the price on the open market. It was a victory and a defeat all in one. (from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, pp. 812-813)
