David's 1957 Triumph TR6 Trophy

Hi there,

I thought I'd send you pics of my 57 Trophy TR6 Triumph for your Customers Bikes page.

It's a one owner bike and most parts are original to it (pretty much everything but the seat cover, pad, tires, rubber items and a few spokes). Dad bought it new in 1958 and has had it since. In the 60s he installed cams and drag raced it locally (probably about the time he painted it candy apple red). In the late 70s he did a cosmetic restoration but it was with spray cans and kind of rough.

It sat in his gun shop for about 47 years under blankets and boxes until I talked him into selling it to me 3 years ago. It took 2 years to restore so far and I'm not quite done as the tach quit last summer. The only engine upgrades I made were a Morgo oil pump and the head rebuilt by Leif Lewis as it had a few minor cracks. The cams and bearings all seem fine and the clutch cleaned up nice.

I'm looking forward to finally putting a few miles on it this summer.

Very respectfully,

David
