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.
