1961 Triumph 649cc T120R BonnevilleRegistration no. PRN 152Frame no. D11519Engine no. T120R D11519Hurriedly prepared for its debut at the 1958 Earls Court Show (it was too late for inclusion in the 1959 catalogue) Triumph's Bonneville arrived at a time when young motorcycle enthusiasts wanted style as well as substance and had the money to pay for it. Finished in striking two-tone Tangerine/Pearl Grey with matching mudguards and black cycle parts, the bike was a real looker; and the name 'Bonneville', chosen in honour of Johnny Allen's record-breaking achievements with his Triumph-powered streamliner at the eponymous Utah Salt Flats, was an inspired piece of marketing. Works tester Percy Tait had achieved 128mph at MIRA on a development bike, and even though this figure proved beyond the reach of the production version, the Bonnie was at least as fast as the opposition and much better looking, which was all that mattered. This Bonneville had already been restored by the preceding owner when acquired by the vendor in Wales in 2001 (see restoration invoices and photographs on file). The machine has covered only 2,977 miles since the rebuild's completion and has acquired a nice patina. The Triumph was last run in 2009 prior to storage; therefore re-commissioning and the customary safety checks will be required before returning it to the road. Accompanying paperwork includes old/current V5C documents; expired MoTs; SORN acknowledgements; and the aforementioned restoration records.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
