Originally, the 1959 T120 Bonneville was exclusively available in Tangerine Orange and Grey. However, due to riders' disdain for this colour scheme, many of these 'Tangerine Dream' models remained unsold and were rebranded as 1960 models by dealerships. Triumph responded by introducing a Royal Blue option before the model year concluded, which proved more popular. Remarkably, the once-disliked 1959 T120 Bonnevilles in Tangerine Orange have now become highly sought-after collectibles.
This 1959 Triumph Bonneville T120 ‘Tangerine Dream’ was manufactured on the 25th of September 1959. The records do not show where it was despatched. It was restored around ten years ago to a good standard and has not been used much since its completion. The current vendor purchased the T120 about four years ago with the intent of riding it, but sadly due to his age, he never got around to it. It has not run since his ownership and will need some recommissioning before placing it back on the road. It is offered with its current V5C, documentation from DVLA and a Dating Certificate from Richard Wheedon.
