    Up for auction is a very clean and all original 1979 Triumph Bonneville, again, due to a non paying buyer!!!!!! DO NOT BID IF YOU ARE GOING TO CHANGE YOUR MIND, DON'T HAVE THE MONEY, DON'T KNOW HOW TO WORK ON BIKES, HAVE NO WAY OF COLLECTING SAID BIKE, ETC !!!!!!  I recently purchased the bike from the second owner who bought it in 1991.  He bought it to replace his black 79 Bonneville that he sold to purchase a Moto Guzzi.  He never rode the bike and it lived in his basement where he literally polished it.  The bike is as I bought it-the paint on the frame is IMMACULATE, never re-sprayed, no scratches, very nice.  The engine kicks over, the transmission shifts through all the gears, no known mechanical issues.  Mileage is only 4,124 miles and the current condition of the bike leads me to believe this is 100% accurate.  The bike comes with everything shown on in the pictures, which includes Euro tank, US Spec tank, US bars, Euro bars currently on it, stock rear sprocket, exhaust pipes that are BRAND new in the wrapper-please note that the discoloration is on the plastic, not the pipes themselves, owners manual, tool kit, mufflers, and a bunch of period Triumph literature.  There is one shot that shows how the bike should look all assembled in the correct color scheme.  The paint on the Euro tank is just a close-ish match rattle can job to keep it from rusting-the inside of the tank is SPOTLESS-please note that is overspray in the tank, not rust scale.  The US spec tank-it looks like it might have been stored in direct sunlight as it is faded.  I originally thought someone tried to do some yellow to orange to red sunburst theme but it is faded.  The side covers are not cracked/chipped/damaged in any way at all.  The chrome on this bike is in fantastic shape.
