Can someone help decipher this serial number?
PL 06679, TR67

1969 onwards
Note: The engine number is located on the left side of the engine immediately below the cylinder barrel flange. The number is stamped onto the raised pad.
The frame number is stamped on the left side of the frame, on the front engine mounting lug.


The first letter indicates the month of manufacture as follows:-

A - January
B - February
C - March
D - April
E - May
G - June
H - July
J - August
K - September
N - October
P - November
X - December

The second letter indicates the season year of manufacture as follows :-

C - 1969
D - 1970
E - 1971
G - 1972
H - 1973
J - 1974
K - 1975
N - 1976
P - 1977
X - 1978
A - 1979
B - 1980

The third section is a numerical block of five figures which commence with engine number 00100.
The fourth section indicates the model.

Example: NC00100T120R - N=Month C=Year, Number, T120R=Model.

L?

Thanks for the info--but the "L" is missing from your list. I'm fairly positive that I wrote the serial number down correctly. Anyone got any ideas?

I am wondering if you have the correct number. I do not recall ever seeing and L used. Did you get this off the frame or the engine.
Do you have any other information about the bike?
Here ar a couple of links

I copied the numbers from both the frame and engine. I am taking a trip down there this evening, so I'll take a closer look tomorrow. Thanks for the links.

TR6S? Maybe

TR67? I don't think so.

Hi Vernon. As the other guys have said, your numbers don't relate to anything in the records. Looking at your bike, from the features; disc / conical, 6 bolt rocker covers, right side seat catch, etc. makes it at least a 1974 build. Get back to us with the numbers.

Oops...

Ok--the serial number I was trying to decipher is another Triumph my dad has in his backyard. I guess my flashlight might have been a little dim, because it was actually a "PE" TR6R. Which I believe translates into a '71 650. I greatly appreciate all the help.

Actually, that translates to being a 1972 model ... PE is November, 1971 which is in the 1972 model year.
