SUMMARY
US-model 1959 Triumph T120 Bonneville.
DESCRIPTION
- Triumph designer Edward Turner's final project before retirement was the legendary T120 Bonneville
- Based very much around the T110 Tiger using the optional twin-carburettor cylinder head with Amal Monoblocs
- The US was the target market as they demanded more powerful machines from the likes of Triumph
- Early models were known as 'Tangerine Dreams' because of their Tangerine and Pearl Grey paint scheme
- This restored, matching-numbers example is presented in good overall condition
- Despatched from the factory in April 1959 to Triumph Corporation in the USA
- Imported back from the US in 2000 and registered in the UK since 2001
- Part of a large deceased estate
- Unused for a while so will require some recommissioning before use
- Complete with dating letter, old MOT and an old V5C
- Featured on the front cover and inside of Classic Bike Guide in March 2002, copy included
- UK-registered on a current V5C
