Title: Triumph TR6SS DU11518. Does anybody know what year is it?
Post by: lod on April 26, 2010, 05:34:15 AM

Hey guys,

My dad gave me an old Triumph T120R so now I'm working on this new project. The problem is he doesn't know what year is it and I'm having some problems to buy new pieces.

I see that the Serial Number is TR6SS DU11518. Is there anyway to know with this identification what year is it?

I appreciate any help.

Regards,

1964

If the engine and frame number prefix is TR6, then it's a "Trophy" model, and not a T120 Bonneville.

Thanks a lot... I've been looking for this quite long ago and I had not found it.

I believe what you have is either a 68 or 69 trophy

I'm not sure how it could be a '68 or '69 model, as it has a serial number (DU11518) within the 1964 series (DU5825-DU13374) and, apparently, no TR6"SS" models were made during either of those two model years?

Yes it's definitely a 1964 number. :)
