A number of Classic Triumphs are being auctioned (amongst other models) at an auction on the 2nd March held by H & H. Amongst them is a 1977 Slippery Sam replica built by 'Les Williamson' with matching numbers which is estimated to fetch between £6,000 and £8,000. However there are many other Triumphs you could bid on.
There is a 1969 T150 Trident with an estimate of between £7,000 and £8,000. Matching numbers again. Restored by Colin Wall from The National Motorcycle Museum after a category C insurance loss (1998 and 1999) who confirms that the engine number is a Genuine Triumph pre production development (prototype) hurricane engine in a MK1 Trident.
A 1972 T120R Bonneville is estimated to fetch about £6,500 to £7,000. Matching numbers again but not in original condition.
Or perhaps a 1978 T140J Silver Jubilee Bonneville would be up your street? It is also estimated to be between £6,500 and £7,000. Matching numbers and 'one of a thousand'.
A 1972 T120V 5-speed Bonneville is also estimated at between £6,500 and £7,000. Again matching numbers and restored in the USA.
If you are looking for something cheaper then a 1973 Tiger TR6R is estimated at between £4,500 and £5,500. Matching numbers, ex Ministry of Transport machine (featured in the 1978 Highway Code).
There is a rare 1939 Triumph Werke Nurnberg machine (made under licence in Germany). That could fetch quite a lot.
There is an older Bonneville from 1968 that is estimated at between £6,000 and £8,000. It has matching numbers.
If you like electric start then there is a 1984 T140ES Bonneville with matching numbers estimated at between £5,000 and £6,000. Could be a good investment for the future as well as a bit of fun.
If you're on a budget then you could try bidding on the 1967 Trophy TR6. That is estimated at between £2,000 and £3,000. It is an ex-Police model (so probably a TR6P) and has matching numbers.
There is also a cheaper 1974 T120R Bonneville which is estimated at only £3,500 to £5,000. It doesn't have matching numbers but is a great buy if you're not a purist.
Perhaps not a classic a such, but not far off and VMCC eligible, is a 1993 Trident 750. It isn't the more desirable 900cc Trident and doesn't have an estimate - could be fairly cheap.
Another interesting machine is a 1969 TR25W Trophy with matching numbers (no estimate).
Again, not technically a classic, but a good buy if you're into the early Hinckley machines is a 1991 Trophy 1200. It is cheap too, estimated at between £1,400 and £1,800.
If you like the older classics then you won't go wrong with the 1950 Tiger T100 estimated at between £3,500 and £4,500 with matching numbers.
If you are interested in bidding for any of these then you need to get a move on as it's not long to the auction. Read the Buying Guide about how to register.
