Post-Listing Update: Despite 22 bids up to $12,500, this T120C TT Special did not meet reserve.
Between 1963 and 1967 (and only in the United States), Triumph released a series of ready-to-race bikes (dubbed the TT Specials) to the public. Starting with a Bonneville, Triumph stripped away anything non-essential and gave it another 2 horsepower. These are special bikes, but this example stands out as it was restored by none other than Bobby Sullivan and it was featured in the book about his incredible collection.
I’d argue the ’66 and ’67 bikes are a bit more desirable as they got changes like increased compression, and lower final drive gearing for better acceleration, better suspension, and lighter fenders. But these are rare finds, and this example is in great nick.
How’s that for jealousy inducement?
