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.
On offer is a 1969 Triumph Bonneville T120R that has had a full restoration previously and to a good standard, with the machine being stripped down and everything either overhauled or replaced where necessary. This T120 has formed part of a private collection of Triumphs. Since entering current ownership, the vendor has run the Triumph from time to time and completed short runs down a lane. The T120R is accompanied by a current V5C, receipts for parts and work, and a purchase receipt.
