If so then, the frame number should have a DU prefix as well as the model code?
Photos would be useful.
Webby03 said:I just assumed that he didn't bother typing the DU prefix. It must have one, the early numbers don't go high enough.

Without a prefix, a Triumph "Bonnie" (T120? T140?) frame number 61613 could also be a '74 model T140.

The prefix indicates the 'month' and the 'production season/year' - as Triumph's production period did not run concurrently with the calendar year - so many bikes were built during the preceding year to the one indicated by the year prefix letter.
