NICE! but ....
i never get prices right, though. i had a 70 T100C (500cc single carb high pipes) that i bought in germany in 72 for $600. yours is a classic bike but all in pieces.....

looks like a 500 cc. Don't buy it! you won't have the tools to repair it. Witworth spanners,,, pip pip cheerio,, tally ho and all that rot! He he!

Here's the plan, send me the sellers info so I can save you from owning that beastly thing. happy11.gif

I had three,,,but Im not an expert.

looks like a t140 bonneville.

I believe the dual carbs were only on the t140, but I could be wrong..

Look on the internet for triumph parts in canada.

I think its called brit bike bits.
http://www.motorcycle-uk.com/britbits.html

or here
http://britishcyclesupply.com/Bikes/bikes_for_sale.htm

This last one is in Canada, and they have everything you need.

Lots of pics...
ASk them, they will know based upon the serial number.

I got two of those boxed projects for free.

Yup, I looked again...its an oil in frame t140 bonneville.

The big tube that goes from the front neck to and bends down behind the engine is the oil bag, or oil resevior (sp)

Its not the best one to play with, no support for that frame because its really to hard to modify (its why I sold them)

There are older frames that are easier to chop etc...

Look on yahoo for the triumph groups.

Good luck

The motor at least is a 650cc Bonneville (per serial number in the photo).

I never really cared for the "oil in frame" models and therefor am not sure on the price but I would have said $1000 to $1200. That assumes it has a title, the motor isn't blown up and those fenders are correct.

Problem is that it would be a money losing deal to try to restore it to stock and the OIF models don't lend themselves to being modded.

I fell in love as soon as I saw the cooling duct on the front drum. aktion035.gif I don't know old bikes, but that's cool stuff.
