This example of one of the rarer Bonneville variants was purchased by the current owner in 1985 while he was serving with the RAF in West Germany. After less than a year of use in Germany the Triumph was placed in storage where it remained until 1993. Registered in the UK in May 1995, the machine was ridden occasionally until 1998 when it returned to storage. In 2004 the TSS was serviced and fitted with braided brake hoses. The vendor then went abroad again and the Triumph returned to storage until 2009 when it was fitted with a new wiring loom, an electronic regulator, and an oil filter conversion. Used until early 2012, it was then taken off the road and returned to storage. Running well at that time, the machine nevertheless will require re-commissioning, including new tyres, and the customary safety checks before further use. Offered with a V5C document and file of history.
