1975 TRIUMPH T160V
This 1975 Triumph Trident has been owned by our veteran Trident owner for the past seven years. He has provided us with the following useful description:
Owned and used lightly for 7years and sympathetically upgraded by me using almost exclusively quality LP Williams components, this 10,176 recorded miles T160 is an American import -V5 registered in 2018- in a condition that reflects that mileage. It retains its original frame paintwork on all except for the tank (which I had re-painted for cosmetic reasons only). The original factory fitted Dunlop wheels rims (showing light surface rust) are like the hubs and spokes, untouched. Both brake master cylinders, all brake hoses were replaced with stainless type, and both callipers overhauled with all new seals and pads. New fork seals and gaiters were fitted, along with Avon Roadrider tyres and tubes and Hagon fully adjustable compression/rebound high quality rear shocks. . A Magadan starter is fitted, new battery, ballast resistor and TriSpark ignition and coils for reliability and response. A new set of Amal Premier (ethanol proofed) Carbs are fitted into the original standard air box with new rubbers. The exhaust system is new being LP Williams 'Legend' type downpipes with top quality LP supplied silencers. Also fitted a LP Williams balanced clutch hub, clutch plate, primary cush drive rubbers and a Clive Scarf Triplex primary drive conversion. The head has been gas flowed lightly, I fitted new rings at the same time to the standard sized pistons simply and only as a precaution, It has not been necessary to dismantle the rest of the engine, or touch the gearbox. Invoices for parts alone total £5303, labour £1620. I have fitted LP Williams rear sets which is my personal preference, but the original setup is included.
Comes with V5, TR3OC Dating letter, invoices and a restoration manual. 10,176 recorded miles
