Graced by one of the most evocative model designations in the history of motorcycling, the Triumph Bonneville owes its existence to record-breaking successes achieved on the eponymous Utah salt flats in 1958, when a Tiger 110 set a new 650cc production machine record of over 147mph. A new alloy cylinder head with inlet ports splayed wide to accommodate twin carburettors had become available as a tuning aid early in 1958 and it was, chiefly, this innovation that enabled the specially prepared T110 to so far eclipse the performance of the standard version. Triumph lost no time in capitalising on its technological breakthrough, announcing a new model equipped with the splayed 'head and twin Amal carburettors in September 1958: the Bonneville. This incomplete and distressed Bonneville is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed. The machine comes with an old-style V5.
