Description

This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a completely unrestored 1968 Triumph Bonneville!

We are offering a magnificent, original Triumph T120 Bonneville from 1968, widely regarded as one of the most sought-after model years within the T120 series. This motorcycle has French registration and is in remarkably original condition. Technically, it has been excellently maintained and offers an extremely enjoyable riding experience. The fuel tank and mudguards still feature their factory paint and display a beautiful, authentic patina. The two-tone vinyl seat is the original (!) example; in addition, a new black reproduction seat is included.

The T120 was known at the time as a particularly fast motorcycle, and even today it is a pleasure to ride. It is therefore no surprise that this model was a favourite of film and motorsport icon Steve McQueen. This superbly riding classic motorcycle is a valuable collector's item. An opportunity like this; a Bonneville in such exceptional, original condition, rarely comes along!

Documented History

What makes this example particularly special is its clear and low-mileage history:

  • 16 April 1968: Newly registered and delivered to the first owner in the United Kingdom.
  • 1973: Acquired by the second British owner with only approximately 3,000 miles on the odometer.
  • 2005: In preparation for long-term use, the engine underwent a professional rebuild costing more than £ 1.500.
  • 2006: Purchased by the third owner with a mileage of 9,629 miles.
  • 2010 – 2024: Around 2010, the motorcycle was exported to France. In 2024, the machine was placed on French registration.
  • Present: Now available from Heritage Cars in Delft with an original mileage of just 13.536 miles.

An original British Bonneville, **matching numbers, **in this exceptional, unmolested condition, retaining its factory specification and with a documented history, rarely comes onto the market. A valuable collector's item and a joy to ride.
