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 V-twin and is now one of the most sought-after bikes of the era.
Nicely presented, and we are advised, believed to be ‘correct numbers’, this T120 is reported to be in good running order with a ‘very quiet’ engine. It is supplied with a NOVA number on file as well as evidence of importation into the UK from the US. Please note – The vendor has made an application to the Triumph Club as part of the DVLA registration process and the club have rejected the frame number stating it may not be an authentic factory stamping, and on this basis has consigned the bike as a project or for spares without reserve.
