Triumph is one of the most iconic and revered names in the history of motorcycling. Established in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made its first motorcycle beginning a continuous run of production under various ownership until its eventual closure in 1983. In 1937 the Edward Turner-designed Speed Twin was released launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomize British motorcycles in the post-war years. Many believe the T120 Bonneville, first seen in late 1958, to be the ultimate version of the classic British vertical twin and is now one of the most sought after bikes of the era.
This late 1960s Bonneville has been part of a small private collection for a number of years, unfortunately not run for a while due to ill health. The bike has been restored at some point in its life and the engine turns on the Kickstarter but it will need recommissioning before use. The last of the non 'oil in frame' bikes, this probably represents the peak of development of Triumphs most iconic model. The bike comes supplied with a few old MOTs and a V5C.
