Lot 035: 1977 TRIUMPH T140 BONNEVILLE SILVER JUBILLEE

In celebration of the Queens Silver Jubilee in 1977 Triumph released a special edition based on the standard 750 T140. A silver finish with red and blue lining was used and was complimented by a blue saddle with red beading. The primary drive and timing covers were chrome plated and the wheel rim centres were painted and lined in the traditional manner. The result was an eye catching machine which quickly established itself as a collectors items. 1000 examples were built for the UK market with a further 1000 for the states and 400 for the rest of the world. Production was split evenly between UK and US specification machines and each machine was supplied with a certificate. This example has recorded only 8432 miles and is described as being in very good condition throughout having been housed in a private collection. It is offered with a Swansea V5C, a history file containing expired MOT certificates, the original sales invoice, a parts book and an MOT certificate valid until October 2008.
