The End
Severe financial and management problems at BSA, along with the rapid disintegration of the entire British motorcycle industry in the early 1970s, led to a government sponsored merger in July 1973 with Norton. However the re-structuring plans announced by the newly formed Norton-Villiers-Triumph Ltd. (NVT), resulted in a workers blockade of Triumph’s home Meriden works in mid-September. Production of the Trident was eventually transferred to BSA’s Small Heath factory in March 1974, but this lengthy disruption resulted in relatively few 1974 Tridents being produced.
