(NOW SOLD) FOR SALE £7,495 - 1976 Triumph Bonneville T140, 6,400 miles, fantastic full restoration.

FIRSTLY, I BOUGHT THIS BECAUSE I FELL IN LOVE WITH ITS LOOKS & HOW GOOD THE RESTORATION WAS, JUST SUPERBLY DONE TO SUCH A HIGH STANDARD, YOU WILL BE HARD PUSHED TO FIND A BETTER EXAMPLE OF SUCH A CLASSIC
The last mature custodian spent months trying to find a perfect example until he found this one. Sadly he had a knee operation & having only owned a few weeks it lived in his conservatory because he was unable to kick start it after his operation & decided he probably never would be able to, so didn't even actually get a chance to ride it!
This beautiful example was a USA import we believe back in approx. 2007 & was left until 2022 where the next owner got it registered (letter to HMRC on file).
I also have on file the Triumph Owners Club (DVLA stamped) confirmation of the the matching frame & engine numbers showing date of manufacture 27th October 1976 by Meriden Motorcycle Co Operative taken from the Triumph, Meriden records.
IT HAS SINCE UNDERGONE A COMPLETE GROUND UP RESTORATION TO A VERY VERY HIGH STANDARD THAT WOULD SURELY BE WORTHY OF ENTERING ANY HIGH END CONCOURS D'ELEGANCE OR SIMILAR. I STARTED IT (EASILY) & RODE IT TODAY (AFTER A FULL DETAIL) TO MAKE SURE ALL WAS GOOD & TOOK PHOTOS/VIDEOS WHILST IT WAS A DRY WARM (BUT BLOODY WINDY) DAY. I GENUINELY BELIEVE I AM THE FIRST PERSON TO ROAD TEST IT SINCE THE RESTO AS THERE IS NO MUCK UNDER THE MUDGUARDS OR ANYWHERE SINCE EVERY NUT & BOLT HAS BEEN REPLACED. HAS THE UPGRADE OF ELECTRONIC IGNITION AS WELL.
I am afraid the rivet counters will find something that isn't quite right or incorrect on the bike & I am no expert on these old Triumphs so I cannot comment BUT just look at the photos & video to see how amazing it really is. I do not have any invoices or photographic evidence of the restoration I am sorry, the bike shows 6.400 miles only which whilst I cannot validate, in my humble opinion is probably correct.
SO IF YOU ARE A FUSSY "ANAL" BUYER LOOKING FOR ONE OF THE BEST '76 "BONNIES" OUT THERE THEN YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED & SOME LUCKY PERSON IS GOING TO BE OVER THE MOON WITH IT
I am semi-retired & do this as a passion/pension top up - consequently my bikes are competitively priced (I have no overheads) & I believe you will not find better presented examples as I personally detail them PROPERLY with no jet washing or harsh chemicals by using waterless wash & go system & a lot of WD40.
Genuine interest will be answered politely and professionally
Irrelevant opinionated questions will not be, sorry ...

Added chrome adds a nice touch without messing too much with originality.
