I had a 1970 Blue and White Trophy TR6 with upswept exhaust on the left side, single carb. and a skidplate. Also the main frame backbone served as the oil tank. I bought it new but there was no "SS" designation. This is the first time I have heard this.



Well, NOW I'm REALLY confused Paul, because the 1971 model year Triumphs(except for 500cc models) were the first to be Oil-in-Frame! As you probably know, I have a 1970 Bonnie-based Streettracker with a TR6C single-carb head on it and it has the single down-tube frame with the remote oiltank.

So what gives(or I guess "GAVE" in this case, seein' as you no longer own it) with YOUR 1970 Triumph???

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
