Nineteen seventy-seven marked 25 years under Queen Elizabeth II's
reign over England. To honor the Queen, Triumph released a limited
production run of 1000 special edition T140V called the Silver
Jubilee. These Silver Jubilee motorcycles were produced solely for
the home market. The first 1000 units sold quickly and Triumph
decided to produce another 1000 for the American market, and
another 400 for general export. These Silver Jubilees featured a
silver tank and side covers, blue upholstered seat with red piping,
chrome plated engine covers, chrome and painted wheels, topped off
by special badging on the side covers. These are not only unique
and beautiful, but also very collectible and one of the most
refined versions of the Triumph T140.
The Silver Jubilee offered here is a frame and engine numbers
matching example with the odometer displaying 7,526 miles. The
paint and chrome show very well and overall the bike appears to be
in sound original condition including the original mufflers. After
some basic recommissioning this Silver Jubilee would be suitable
for rides through the English countryside.
