The second generation T140 (Bonneville) 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.

The current owner of the 1978 Triumph T140V has enjoyed it since he purchased it in 2009. It was purchased as a very original machine with low mileage. The vendor has kept it up together and advises us that it is running very well and stops well too. He has always maintained it and kept it going in his ownership. It comes complete with a current V5C and some old MOT certificates and other paperwork.
