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 before its rebirth in the early 1990s. 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 the last of the non 'oil in frame' models represents the peak of development of Triumphs most iconic model.

This beautifully restored 1970 model was initially exported to the USA but was repatriated in 1995, whilst overseas the bottom end must have been changed for some reason. The vendor bought it in 2019 as a project and commenced a full restoration including repainting the frame and bodywork in classic Astral Red and Silver colours, rebuilding the wheels with stainless rims and spokes shod with period correct Dunlop K70 tyres, a new exhaust system and wear and tear items with the original stainless mudguards repolished. The engine has been fully stripped, crank balanced, new Harris cylinder and pistons, new E3134 cams, oil pump, carbs and a Pazon electronic ignition. The bike has not done many miles since and started first kick when being photographed. It comes with a large quantity of spares including the original barrels bored to +60, original carbs, paint and an extensive paperwork file of receipts, special tools, technical information, workshop manuals, a cover, and a V5C.
