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 CLASSICThe 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 ITI 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.
