TRIUMPH 1973 TRIDENT T150V

Vehicle Description

Nice, original, matching-numbers T150V. 5-Speed, right-hand shift, points ignition. Runs well. I bought it from a friend who got it from the owner of a British car repair shop. I have owned this bike for about 6 years and it has had very light use and has been well cared for during that time. I have too many vehicles and I don't give this one as much attention as it deserves.
The serial number (T150VBHxxxxx) indicates it was manufactured in February of '73, and it is titled as a '73 model although it has the black & gold,'74 color scheme. It has a Kilometers speedometer and the "breadbox" tank which means it might be originally from Canada but I don't know for sure.
This is not a show bike. It is almost 37-years-old and has lots of minor scratches and cosmetic flaws but, as far as I can tell, has not been significantly altered and is in good, original, used condition.
Recent carb rebuild, battery, engine oil & filter, gearbox oil, valve adjustment, fork tubes & seals, taper-roller steering bearings, stainless steel master cylinder, upper & lower brake hoses. I put Norton fork gaiters on it to protect the new tubes when I did the front end.
There is some battery acid damage on the left muffler and chain guard. Sometime before I got the bike, brake fluid leaked onto the right tank badge and took some of the paint below the knee pad but that has been clean and stable and hasn't gotten worse over the time I've owned it. The turn signals are missing but the relay and wiring is still there. The wiring harness appears to be original and has not been hacked up. It shows 20,000 Kilometers on the odometer but I can't say if that's original or not. There's a slight oil drip that produces a CD-sized spot on the floor if you park it on the side stand for a couple of weeks. There's a slight drip from the base of one of the intake pushrod tubes that shows when you ride for awhile.
I've posted a fair reserve price and, if it doesn't sell, I'll be happy to keep the bike. I just thought I'd put it out there and see if it will go to someone who will ride and enjoy it.
Currently registered and clear California title.
Sold as-is.
