I'm from the Colonies, but here that there is a better market for this type of bike on your side of the puddle.

Its a 1966 Bonneville, 99.9% restored by an owner of a Triumph dealer here in the US. It took 3rd place in the first bike show I took it to for its class (Postwar British). Everything is completely accurate as verified by 2 independent Triumph mechanics that used to work on them in the 60s and 70s. She starts first kick, runs great, only issue is a missing piece of rubber on the kick start. Tank pads are in hand, just not on the tank. I am moving to Italy in a month, and need to sell off some of my goodies...

Here are some pics:

looks superb ,I would love to own such a clasic,

2 years earlier than one i owned back then , worth sod all at the time , had a twin leading shoe front brake.

Is that a 4 imperial gallon tank ? . maybe its the colour that makes it look smaller

appears to be a US spec tank, like my T140 has. 2 1/2 gallons IIRC, which would be 3 US gallons?
