1973 TRIUMPH T120 BONNEVILLE - Lot 81

1973 TRIUMPH T120 BONNEVILLE N° HG61203 Collector's registration 7 000 / 9 000 € The Bonneville "Bonnie" is one of the most famous motorcycles in British production. Its story begins on the salt desert of Bonneville, Utah, on September 6, 1956. On that day, Johnny Allen reached 342 km/h on a machine powered by a 650 cm3 engine from a Triumph Tiger 110. The factory decided to pay tribute to the man and his machine by introducing the T120 Bonneville in 1959 (T120 because it was capable of 193 km/h). It was the start of a model that is still part of the Triumph range today. The model presented here has been restored (€11,000 in invoices) and has not been driven since. We can't guarantee that it will run properly, so a restart may be in order.
