As an early example of the T120 Bonneville this lot represents a rare opportunity to acquire not only an outstanding motorcycle but a period sidecar as well.
It has been restored to an enviably high standard, and comes with a VMCC dating certificate confirming a build date of 23 October 1958 and that it was supplied to Johnson Motors, USA.
The vendor tells us that it is thought that this machine was exhibited at the Earls Court show in that year, but sadly no documentary evidence was available to substantiate this fact at the time of cataloguing. Further research would certainly be worthwhile.
Fitted with a Streamliner fairing and the previously mentioned Watsonian Monza sports sidecar both finished in matching livery it has an imposing presence and will no doubt be the centre of attention at any motorcycle gathering and will be guaranteed admiration from all.
For occasions when a solo mount is the choice of the day a suitably prepared front mudguard is included to allow conversion back to a solo configuration.
Solo or combo, this surely must be the choice for a spin to the coast in the summer sunshine?
A file supplied with the machine contains various paperwork including invoices for work and replacement parts, old MOTs, Swansea V5 Registration Document, and a collection of photographs depicting various stages of the restoration.
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
