Triumph is one of the most iconic and revered names in the history of motorcycling. Established in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made their first motorcycle beginning a continuous run of production under various ownership until its eventual closure in 1983. In 1937 the Edward Turner-designed Speed Twin was released launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomize British motorcycles in the post-war years. Many believe the T120 Bonneville, first seen in late 1958, to be the ultimate version of the classic British vertical twin and is now one of the most sought-after bikes of the era.
UXN, a wonderful matching numbers example of a 1961 T120, offered in sky blue over silver was owned by Howard Clough in 2005, he sold it to Phillip Cropper in 2008 and our vendor bought it from him in 2017. It has seen little road use over the last number of years, an MOT from 2014 was at 87 miles, in 2017, when purchased, it was 111 miles and the odometer now shows 637 miles. It was last ridden in 2024 and our vendor states it is an easy starter, just tickle the carb with no choke. It runs on 12 volt electrics.
