Lot details Registration No: CPT 88L Frame No: NG37659 cc: 750 MOT Expiry Date: None
For the 1971 season Triumph announced a considerably revised range of 650cc twins consisting of the TR6R Tiger, TR6C Trophy and the T120R Bonneville, the first machine effectively replaced the single carburettor Trophy model, whilst the TR6C Trophy catered for those seeking a "street scrambler" style machine. The T120R Bonneville continued as the sporting model in the range with equipment to suit. The most noticeable change to the range was the adoption of the Umberslade Hall designed, oil bearing frame fitted with"slimline" internally sprung forks and revised alloy conical hubs, the front being equipped with a twin leading shoe brake. The following season saw the range being reduced with the deletion of the Trophy TR6C and the option of a five speed gearbox and 744cc engine becoming available for the Tiger and Bonneville. For the 1973 season a disc brake option became standard as did the five speed gearbox, although the Meriden "sit-in" resulted in very few "1973" season machines leaving the factory, the majority of the production being to the 1972 season specification.
This original example of the T120R is finished in "Tiger Gold and White", a colour scheme that had been adopted by the Bonneville in 1972 and is described by the vendor as being in "working" order. It is equipped with a Boyer electronic ignition system and Morgo oil pump and has benefited from the carburettors being overhauled and the cylinder heads reconditioned and gas flowed. It is offered with a Swansea V5C and is currently on SORN.
