To mark Queen Elizabeth II’s Silver Jubilee in 1977, Triumph manufactured a special Silver Jubilee edition of the Bonneville. 1,000 were produced for the UK, with a further 1,000 for the USA and 400 more for the Commonwealth. To identify the genuine models the side panels bore one of three legends, Limited Edition, One of a Thousand, or Limited International Edition. According to the Triumph Owner's Club, the original UK market machines were badged 'Limited Edition', the US machines 'One of a Thousand', and the others essentially for the Commonwealth 'Limited International Edition'.
This matching numbers Silver Jubilee Bonneville appears to have spent its whole life in the UK, being first registered on the 8th September 1977 whilst the Queen's Jubilee celebrations were in full swing. As one of the thousand bikes produced for the home market, it bears the legend 'Limited Edition' on its side panels. The bike is presented in authentic condition and has had some restoration work but it has managed to keep a good degree of originality. Bought by the vendor in 2018, it has been serviced 3 times in his ownership, the last being only some 25 miles ago in 2023, when it was also fitted with a new battery. This very collectable example is offered supplied with a current V5C.
