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
Early models were known as 'Tangerine Dreams' because of their Tangerine and Pearl Grey paint scheme
This restored, matching-numbers example is presented in very good overall condition
Restored by the late Hughie Hancox with receipts included
Same owner for last 35 years, unused for last couple of years so may require some light recommissioning before use
History file included containing Triumph Owners Club dating letter, numerous receipts, old tax discs and MOT's

UK-registered on a current V5C
