The second generation T140 can be very appealing in ownership, they’re typically cheaper than the T120 and they have some quality upgrades: 100 more CCs of displacement, a front disc brake, and an additional gear in the transmission. This was Triumph’s way of combating the onslaught of advancements from Japan, however, it turns out that Triumph was arguably a bigger obstacle to their own success than Honda, Suzuki, et al, as workers at the Meriden factory held a sit-in to protest the announced closure of their plant.
This 1980 Triumph T140 was purchased by the current owner from new, a Triumph man through and through, and since last on the road has formed part of a collection of Triumphs. Not used for a few years and will need to be recommissioned before placing back on the road. The vendor has fitted two new silencers. Showing just 5,418 miles in his ownership. A current V5C is on file.
