[QUOTE=Ed Storey; There is limited CFR data for only six Triumphs (they are listed as Model year 1956)

Is this info easily shared? Would it include the serial no? I too have a TRW and am trying to identify it..

Ed Storey · #2 31-10-20, 18:19

Sure, let me know what the serial number for your motorcycle is is and I will tell you if it is in my database.

These bikes seem to be registered by their engine no.

Might have the letters TRW before the number.

25740

thx

No, sorry that one is not one of the six I have.

Hi Ed,

My TRW is 'TRW 26232NA' (Matching Frame and Engine) and C.A.R. Number is '57-93992'. It was in the Montreal area after purchase from surplus sales (probably in the 70s) for many years.

Thanks for sharing your research with everyone!

Thanks Rob, I was hoping to find a correlation between cfr and ser no.... a hint of a pattern, anyway.

Does make one wonder how many of these were actually ordered. When I first started going to the supply depot in London (1973 or so) , there were 99 (I counted) still in the crates ...

Thanks! Looking at the end of the data, it appears that the six you have listed may all have been 'Mk2B' models. That in itself is interesting! Wishing there was more information about our Canadian TRWs available.

Rev high!

I will post a bunch of TRW info on the thread about 'Post War Motorcycles' today. That should give you more info.

Rev high!
