Just 250 'Royal Wedding' Bonnevilles (with special finishes for the 125 US and 125 UK models) were built to commemorate the 1981 marriage of Lady Diana Spencer and Charles. Prince of Wales. The UK version had a silver-grey painted frame and black finished engine. Electric starting. Bing carburretors. nbsp;ULO turn indicators and Marzocchi Strada gas-oil rear shock absorbers as standard. the UK version also had American-made 'Morris' alloy wheels and twin front discs. Both UK and US versions' petrol tanks were chromed but finished differently: the 4 gallon UK tank featured a plain Triumph badge with black scallops echoing the side panel colour; the 2 gallon export tank had the old 'picture frame' Triumph badge and had gold-lined. 'smoked' blue scallops that matched the side panel colour. The fixing point for both types of tank to the frame was covered by a badge that read "Royal Wedding 1981" whilst both side panels bore the legend. 'Bonneville'. 'Royal' and '1981' with stylised Prince of Wales's feathers. symbol of thePrince of Wales. Offered for Sale exactly as imported this bike is in remarkable condition with only small areas you could describe as having a 'Period Patina'. Only major areas that have degraded are Fork Stanchions slightly pitted and Satin Varnish applied to lower parts of side panels has 'Bubbled' in places.
