Triumph were the dominant manufacturer in production racing throughout the sixties utilising tuned versions of their already potent Bonneville model to good affect. A "Thruxton" Bonneville had been marketed between 1964 and 1965 incorporating a large number of the optional performance parts as standard. In theory these parts were available to anyone wishing to uprate their machine to "Thruxton" specification, however, the availability was often disputed. Original "Thruxton" Bonneville's are now highly prized collectors items but the components required to convert a standard "Bonnie" to Thruxton specification are arguably more easily acquired today than they were in the sixties.
This T120 has undergone such a transformation. The performance has been increased with an increase in engine capacity to 750cc, a more usable route to higher performance than the originals high compression and radical cam timing. A five speed Quaife gearbox cluster has replaced the standard item and late pattern "Thruxton" style bodywork has been fitted, with the seat unit finished in white and complimented by a blue fuel tank reflecting the original livery of the late sixties.
Described as being in good condition throughout, this attractive recreation of one of the British motorcycle industries most iconic products is offered with a Swansea V5.
