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 from the likes of Triumph
Early models were known as 'Tangerine Dreams' because of their Tangerine and Pearl Grey paint scheme
This restored, matching-numbers example is presented in good overall condition
Despatched from the factory in April 1959 to Triumph Corporation in the USA
Imported back from the US in 2000 and registered in the UK since 2001
Part of a large deceased estate
Unused for a while so will require some recommissioning before use
Complete with dating letter, old MOT and an old V5C
Featured on the front cover and inside of Classic Bike Guide in March 2002, copy included
UK-registered on a current V5C
