Yahoo Autos Gibson-inspired Triumph Bonneville T120 is a rock-themed one-off
Gibson and Triumph pooled their talents to celebrate their respective heritage while raising money for charity. Working together, they created a one-off Les Paul Standard Reissue and a one-of-a-kind Bonneville T120 that are each inspired by a predecessor released in 1959.
Both companies consider 1959 a milestone year. Triumph released the Bonneville T120, one of its most emblematic models, in 1959, while Gibson notes that the 1959 version of the Les Paul Standard has become one of the most coveted classic guitars. In an odd twist of fate, the original Bonneville T120 was powered by a 649cc two-cylinder engine while Gibson made under 650 units of the Les Paul Standard in 1959.
