Following the Jubilee Bonneville in 1977, as the wedding of Prince Charles to Lady Diana Spencer approached, Triumph announced the limited edition Bonneville Royal with 250 to be made for UK. UK buyers were able to specify whether they wanted their machine to be a UK or USA specification. This (British) US specification machine is number 21 of the 250 machines, and was not registered until 1982. This Bonneville Royal was purchased by the vendor in 2010 and used for limited mileage in summer months for two years, before being declared SORN and laid up in dry storage. When consigned, it had only 2,742 miles recorded on the odometer, and remains in unrestored condition. It will require re-commissioning before use on the road by a new owner. Documentation comprises a certificate of ownership (although this has never been completed), a current V5C, the original owner's handbook, another handbook, a quantity of expired MoTs, and sundry papers.
