Vintage 1970 Triumph 650 Tiger -Movie Star Bike?

This Sweet 1970 Triumph Tiger is being sold from a private collection due to the owners declining health. The bike is in very nice, ostly original condition with 16,500 original miles. It featuresa period custom pearl white and gold pinstripe paint job, horty mufflers, ates head light mount, kront rims, xcellent original seat, ew grips, ew battery, ew ignition key and tumbler, nd modern tires in good condition. Everything works as far as I can tell, t starts, un, shift, nd stops very well thanks to the huge front brake.. I changed the oil in the engine and trans, leaned the ignitio, eplaced battery,and installed new spark plugs . The bike has no choke mechanism or kill switch. I understand some people prefer no choke on amal carbs and the ignition key is right beside the head light, s the reason I assume. The paint appears to be lacquer and is fairly rough but is either a custom factory order or was done shortly after the bike was new.The movie star thing is the previous owner insisted this bike was formerly owned by Ann Margret and possibly used in her Vegas stage show.The story seems possible as Ann Margret was and is a motorcycle enthusiast and did some Triumph advertising in the 1960s.I have tried to contact her through her fan club and the California DMV in order to authenticate the bike but have not been able to do so.As of now, have to sell the bike assuming it did not belong to her but, he possibility remains, s I have not conclusively been able to confirm or deny the previous owners claim. The current owner is now ready to sell so the mystery will have to be passed on to the buyer. Even if the rumor turns out to be fals, he new owner will have one vey nice example of the pinnacle of the Triumph Tiger line. This is the last year before BSA took over and started using the oilin frame setup and signaled the slow demise of the brand.Pleaseask any question before bidding. The bike is sold with out any warranties or guarantees of any kind. Bike is located in Culpeper Virginia 22701.Buyer is responsible for pickup or shipping but I can help load the bike or coordinate with the buyers shipper. Good luck.
