An Auction of Classic and Performance Cars and Motorcycles
1980 Triumph Bonneville T140E
Registration - GWA 714V
Chassis No. - CB26743
M.O.T. - April 2024
Odometer - 80
The Bonneville name still carries a certain magic in the motorcycle world and it’s always good to hear of examples being rejuvenated and thereby given a new life. ‘GWA 714V’ is a case in point, being a 1980 T140E that has been the subject of a full restoration, during which the 750cc engine was rebuilt, the frame re-powder coated and items such as the tyres, chain, instruments etc all renewed. The vendor informs us that the rear light and handlebar controls are non-standard and that the new speedometer and rev-counter are in need of calibration. He has owned the Triumph for the last couple of years and says it ‘starts, runs and rides well’, and currently classes the powerplant, five-speed gearbox, frame, silver and red paintwork, brightwork and cycle parts as ‘excellent’, and the suspension as ‘good’, and is only parting with the bike due to a hip problem. The lot includes pre-restoration photos, receipts for in excess of £5,000, and a current MOT valid to April 2 next year.
'A Buyer’s Premium applies to the Hammer Price of this Lot if your bid is successful, as per the following; Motor Cars 12.5% + VAT (minimum £150 + VAT), Motorcycles and Bicycles 15% + VAT (minimum £100 + VAT); Registration Numbers 15% + VAT (minimum £50 + VAT); Automobilia 15% + VAT (minimum of £5 + VAT).'
Potential buyers should satisfy themselves with the description and condition of each lot prior to sale. Each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ as per the terms and conditions for the auction, buyers are asked to inspect the vehicle in person or use a professional to carry out the service. Any disputes over descriptions will not be entertained.
