Triumph is one of the most iconic and revered names in the history of motorcycling. Established in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made its first motorcycle beginning a continuous run of production under various ownership until its eventual closure in 1983. In 1937 the Edward Turner designed Speed Twin was released launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomize British motorcycles in the post-war years. To mark Her Majesty 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 other overseas markets all featuring this stylish silver, red, white and blue colour scheme. The Side Panels bore one of three legends: Limited Edition, One of a Thousand, or Limited International Edition. It is thought that the UK market machines got Limited Edition, the US machines got One of a Thousand, and the rest got Limited International Edition.
This 1977 example is unusual as it actually was ridden in the day, most bikes being mothballed as collector's items, so has a nice used patina about it. Bought by the current owner from a deceased estate, a previous owner was a member of the Royal Artillery motorcycle display team who as part of his act jumped over a Rover P5 car with his children sat inside! The bike had been stored for about 13 years but has now had a new battery, plugs, oil and filter, brake fluid change and a rear brake master cylinder overhaul. Started recently it will require a light re-commissioning before use and comes with an original sales brochure, original sales invoice, lots of invoices, a certificate of authenticity, a genuine owners handbook and a genuine Triumph workshop manual.
