c.1969/71 BSA Rocket 3 Mark II, 750 cc. Registration number Not Registered (see text). Frame number A75R XC 00780. Engine number A75R GE00882. Triumph's eagerly awaited 3-cylinder T150 Trident was introduced in 1968, alongside BSA's similarly powered A75 Rocket-3; both models were individually styled. The Triumph engine had its cylinders mounted vertically while the BSA's engine was 'sloped' in the frame; these models were the firm's first entry into the 750cc class. Together with the Norton Commando, and Honda's soon-to-arrive CB750-4, they were immediately categorised as Superbikes. Going into the 1970s both 'triples' underwent a change of styling with particular attention paid to the silencers and fuel tanks. The BSA/Triumph group was already experiencing a difficult financial situation but, in a glorious last-ditch sales campaign, the factory completion shop was charged with preparing a batch of hand-built T150/A75s for Daytona and the newly created Formula 750. It proved a highly successful promotion with the team bikes gaining many race wins and leaderboard positions more-or-less wherever they entered. Essentially a 'Tiger-and-a-half', the Triumph and BSA 750cc Triples were launched in the UK in 1969. Differences between the Triumph Trident and BSA Rocket III were more than just cosmetic: the two models used different frames and in BSA guise the motor's cylinder block was slightly inclined. BSA-Triumph had learned a lot about engine development from racing the 500 twins, and the Triples were the most powerful machines in their class. Dynamometer tested by the American publication Motorcycle Buyer's Guide in 1970, the Rocket III produced a maximum of 55.4bhp at the rear wheel, slightly down on its Triumph Trident sibling's 58.8 horsepower but 1.5bhp better than Honda's four-cylinder CB750. Meanwhile, back in the UK, Bike magazine wound their road test Rocket III up to a top speed of 128mph. This example was built was from parts by our vendor, a master motor engineer, starting with a frame. Many man hours have been spent on it but unfortunately ill health has meant it has never been completed; it is thought to be some 80/85% complete. Buyers should check the receipt folder to see what parts have been bought for it and check for themselves the completeness. When finished this will be a very good example and the buyer will have to register it with DVLA for road use. Sold with a folder of receipts and a large quantity of NOS or refurbished parts.
1972 Triumph Trident, 740 cc. Registration number MGU 72L. Frame number T150 CG01573. Engine number T150 CG01573. Essentially a 'Tiger-and-a-half', the Triumph and BSA 750 triples were launched in the UK in 1969, just in time to be up-staged by Honda's four-cylinder CB750. Differences between the Triumph Trident and BSA Rocket 3 were more than just cosmetic: the two models used different frames and in BSA guise the motor's cylinder block was inclined forwards. Only the Trident survived the Group's collapse in 1972, continuing as the T150V (with 5-speed gearbox) and later the T160 (using the BSA-type engine). The number of important production race victories achieved (notably by the works Triumph 'Slippery Sam') is eloquent testimony to how effective a high-speed road-burner a well-fettled triple can be. Today the models are served by an active owners' club and enjoy an enthusiastic following worldwide. MGU is a matching numbers machine built in March 1972, being first registered on the 1st August of that year. In July 2010 Tim Wooley of Cilgerrian, South Wales bought her and sold her to our vendor the following month as a basically original machine, which when examining her is probably correct. He set about making her more reliable with a new carb unit, new dials and other incidentals. When purchased MOT mileage was 10,637 and the new dials were put on in 2011, since then some 1,350 miles have been added. She was ridden to our meeting at a friends home. Sold with the V5C, MOT history from 2010 and numerous receipts from our vendors ownership.

Motor Racing Giulio Borsari 5x7 signed colour photo. Born in 1925 in Montale, a short distance from the Maranello factory, Giulio dedicated his whole life to his passion for racing. At the end of 1957, after ten years at Maserati, ending in the team securing the Formula 1 World Championship title with Juan Manuel Fangio, but at the same time pulling out of racing, Giulio moved from the Trident marque, first to Paganelli and then to Scuderia Centro-Sud. Then, in 1962, he made the move to Ferrari. Giulio spent 17 years with the Prancing Horse, working alongside many Formula 1 drivers, as well as working on the Sports Prototype cars. John Surtees was particularly attached to Giulio, who was Scuderia chief mechanic when he won the world championship in 1964. His farewell to racing came in 1979, at the end of another extraordinary season for Ferrari, culminating in winning both titles with Jody Scheckter, Gilles Villeneuve and the 312 T4. In fact it was at the thirtieth anniversary commemoration of Gilles that, on 8 May last year at Fiorano, Giulio met the son, Jacques and many former colleagues, all part of the Club Meccanici Anziani, the association for former Formula 1 mechanics, which he founded in 1988. Giulio continued to play an active role in many international motoring events and was the head of the Ferrari Shell Historic Challenge technical commission from 2000 to 2008. His in-depth knowledge of race cars meant he was a reference point for everyone who shared a passion for these cars and for the racing history of the marque that represents Italian excellence around the world. Good Condition. All signed pieces come with a Certifcate of Authenticity. We combine postage on multiple winning lots and can ship worldwide. UK postage from £3.99, EU from £5.99, Rest of World from £7.95.
