Triumph Bonneville T120
Manufactured in 1959 and finished in original two tone blue.
The Triumph Bonneville T120 was launched in 1959 but very quickly had a face lift to better suit the more sporting styling requirements of the American market. This is one of the very early face lift specification motorcycles restored to perfection.
Concourse is subjective, but as you can see from the pictures we believe this one meets the criteria. It’s the most original we have seen and is a true collector’s example.
The Bonneville name was inspired by the famous Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, where Triumph motorcycles set multiple land-speed records in the 1950s. Riders like Johnny Allen helped push streamlined Triumph-powered machines past 190 mph, cementing the brand’s reputation.
This is not just a motorcycle — it’s one of the most celebrated classics ever produced, representing the golden era of Triumph engineering.
