Lot 020: 1970 TRIUMPH T120 BONNEVILLE

The 1970 season machines marked the end of an era for Triumph, being the final year's production before the introduction of the Umberslade Hall designed oil in frame across both the BSA and Triumph 650cc ranges. Consequently changes to the specification were very limited with the adoption of the US style grab rail being the most obvious, and no doubt, welcomed amendment, at least by pillion passengers. The "Bonnie" adopted an "astral red" with silver tank panels for the season, the panels being more pronounced than previously seen. This example, finished in the correct livery is described as being in good condition throughout. It has benefited from a thorough overhaul carried out by Minovation Racing during which time items such as the tyres and chains were replaced and electronic ignition was fitted. Currently on SORN it is offered with a Swansea V5C.
