Triumph Bonneville 1978

T140, 750cc, 5-speed in excellent condition. Eng #T140ENA36883 Chassis #T140ENA231053 Ex UK owner December 1999 @ 25,893miles 2nd NZ owner Feb 2003 @ 27,900miles me Nov 2017 @661miles. Note: New speedo fitted at 28,814miles.

Custom metal flake paint and pin-striping which is stunning in the sun. Just about everything has been re-chromed. Lots of stainless steel bolts and caps replacing the brown steel stuff. Frame has been repainted. Custom chrome chain guard.

Lots of rebuilding and/or replacements over the years to create this lovely old girl, but the former owner had at least 4 other more favoured rides so the Bonnie retired from duty. He owned it for 15 years with more polishing than riding.

I purchased this November 2017 with intentions that have not eventuated...I have spent a fair bit of time and money getting a few things sorted e.g. fitted new rear brake hose, new rev drive, refurbished the oil pump, fitted new plugs and leads, replaced speedo glass and bezel, carb rebuilt, new fuel cocks and filters, fitted a new electronic ignition module, and replaced the fork seals. Still requires a final tune to get the full benefit of the work done. But I need to let it go for other projects.

Reg is on hold, but I will wof and 12 months reg for the new owner.

The listing is the same value as what I originally paid back in November, before doing all I have as described above, so a gain to the new owner. A good deal in these times, comparing to recent and current market listings.

Email is best. mailto:ben@spot-light.co.nz Text or Call works as well.
