c.1965 Triumph 500cc TRW Military Frame no. 29228 Engine no. TRW 29531 XNA

c.1965 Triumph 500cc TRW Military Registration no. KRR 787K Frame no. 29228 Engine no. TRW 29531 XNA Developed in the immediate post-WW2 years to fulfil British Government contracts for a new military motorcycle, the TRW followed the overall lines of Triumph's trend-setting parallel twins but with the simpler and more easily maintained side valves rather then the civilian models' overhead valves. In keeping with the military's requirements for robustness and simplicity, the TRW retained a rigid frame while featuring Triumph's telescopic front fork as used by many models across the range. When their service life came to an end, many were offered for sale on the civilian market by the Ministry of Defence. This time warp example of Triumphs trend setting parallel twins was purchased by the vendor in 2001 and has been stored in their collection since. It will require careful recommissioning before returning to the road. Possibly unrestored, the odometer displays 13,499 miles (not warranted). Displaying a plaque inscribed with the MOD/A contract number 3231 and serial no. 29228 NA, it is offered with a V5C, V5, old style log book and expired MoT.
