TRIUMPH T120 BONNEVILLE Year 1967 ONE OWNER SINCE 1977.
Engine 650cc Unit construction Registration RLM 408E. Mileage 33500 (since rebuild and new clock in 1977).
Since 1977 I have been the sole owner and rider of this machine for 46 years and have cherished it as a good friend maintaining it in ridable condition and as expected replacing many parts over the years. It had its last complete engine and chassis strip down and rebuild in 2008 before I left London to come and live in Somerset and the tank was resprayed in the correct colours for a 1967 export model. Since that time, it has only been used for pleasure riding and taking part in classic bike runs during the summer.
I purchased this bike in 1977 after the frame of my previous 1969 Bonneville was written off in an accident. The previous owner of RLM 408E had a blown up his engine so my good 1969 engine was put into the rolling chassis and a complete rebuild was undertaken. It was registered with the DVLA and a new V5 was issued with the correct engine and frame numbers. It has electronic ignition timing fitted and an encapsulated rectifier and has a gas flowed 9 stud head.
I have kept all the MOT’s from 1993 to 2016 when they were no longer necessary.
I have so enjoyed having this bike over the last 46 years and most recently taking it on classic bike runs here in the South West, but due to health issues it is now better that I pass it on to a new enthusiastic owner.
I am looking to get around £6500 for it, but will consider any decent offers. The bike is located near Bristol in Somerset.
