Another project !

Not up to oilyrag's standard --- Yet !
This is a Triumph Bonneville that I found in a barn, some years ago.
On a visit to the Triumph factory, recently, I spoke to a man that was 
trying to trace all the early Bonnies, worldwide and I told him that I had
one.
I sent him photos of the bike and it's serial numbers and it turns out that my bike was built on 5th September 1958;  the 2nd day of production.
 He was quite excited, as was I , and told me that it was one of the earliest models that he had found.
 As you can see, there's a lot of work to do but all the important bits are there and are totally original !
A lucky find indeed.
