TRIUMPH BONNEVILLE. 1963. Engine Number DU 166

Matching numbers (cases # 93 ) and engine/frame ( DU 166 ) completely & professionally restored 1963 Bonneville. This extremely low engine number establishes this as only the 65th unit construction Bonneville ever built. ** I was contacted by several people that suggested that some bidders might have been reluctant to bid because they thought the reserve might be too high. I have changed the listing to BUY IT NOW. Also. I mistakenly did not make it available to International bidders. Will sell anywhere in the world. Please confirm International shipping. currency exchange and import duties before buying the bike. I can recommend U. S. shippers that can get it to a port of exit. Thank you. **This is the final bike from my collection to be sold and it was never ridden while stored inside my home. but has been started and runs very well. Gas tank has been sealed but never saw fuel. The new. and correct for 63 only. exhaust has never seen service.
