The story of the Triumph Bonneville - its conception, design and production, how it compared to the competition (British and Japanese), and how it was seen at the time. With insights into the company that built it, from the boom times of the 1960s, through struggles in the 70s, and eventual closure in the '80s, plus guidance on buying a Bonneville secondhand, this is the fascinating history of a British icon.
