What a little beauty!
This is a 1966 ‘Peanut Tank’ Triumph Bonneville T120r – US Spec with the smaller tank and wide bars…very cool!
On a Sunday morning you can be McQueen, Pitt, The Fonz…or Boon – Take your pick 🙂
Matching Numbers – Frame T120DU28172
This bike was bought by the last owner nearly 14yrs ago and in that time he’s done less than 1000 miles.
He bought the bike fully restored and rebuilt from an American chap who was at that time bring them in from the States, restoring and selling them. We don’t have any paperwork to substantiate this unfortunately as this has been lost. However the bike does look to be an honest restoration and is a very fine example, not concourse, but better than the majority.
And…of course that paint job just makes the bike in our opinion, so much better than a boring old Burgundy Red with chrome guards don’t you think?
The bike is now with our bike tech who’s doing a full service, inc gear oil, spark plugs, new fuel hose and carb balance.
She rides really well and sounds gorgeous with lots of grunt and everything you need for a Sunday morning bimble to the gathering at the cafe!
We do have the tank pads, they are brand new and were never fitted as the last owner preferred it without, but we might be fitting them, so let us know asap if you have a preference.
The bike comes with a lovely handbook and a few invoices and old MOT’s.
This article is well worth a read by the way, and it’s even uses a bike of the same colour scheme….
