The Dale Winfield Motorcycle Collection, 12 delivery miles
1980 Triumph 750cc Bonneville Executive Limited Edition
Registration no. GWA 309V
Frame no. T140E BB26478
Engine no. T140E BB26478

The final phase of development of Triumph's vertical twin commenced in 1972 with the first appearance of the new 750cc Bonneville. Other improvements included a ten-stud cylinder head, triplex primary chain, stronger transmission, and a disc front brake, while a five-speed gearbox, introduced on the preceding 650 Bonneville, was standard equipment on the 750. After the Meriden debacle, the Bonneville continued as Triumph's main model, ringing the changes to produce a succession of special and celebratory editions, while significant technological developments included the adoption of electronic ignition and the introduction of models with electric starting and an 8-valve head.

Supplied by Leather & Simpson of Sheffield, the machine offered here is one of the final Meriden-built models, the limited edition Executive, which was introduced in 1980 and used the electric start engine, while a cockpit fairing, top box, and panniers were standard equipment also. Offered with V5C and a photocopied V5, recording the original owner as one Raymond Glover of Sheffield as of 1st June 1980. Our vendor purchased the machine from him in July 1993. Displaying a mere 12 'delivery' miles on the odometer, the Triumph is presented in 'as new' but age-related condition and would respond well to detailing. The machine comes with an owner's handbook; Triumph advertising literature; a Triumph guarantee card and brochure; and a price list with annotations to the reverse. Key not present.
