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 1969 Triumph T120R Bonneville was purchased as a complete machine but in need of full restoration. The current vendor has gone into great detail to source the correct parts where possible during the restoration. The paintwork is of a very high quality with all brightwork rechromed. The engine has been fully rebuilt with new pistons, rings, crank, valves, guides, etc. All the wheels were rebuilt by Brickwood wheel builders in Salisbury. Not used in the last three years, it has,however, been stored well and kicked over regularly. The Triumph will need light recommissioning before use. It comes complete with a current V5C, VMCC Dating Certificate, and other paperwork.
