The Gold Cup Classic Car Auction
1978 Triumph T140V Bonneville Silver Jubilee
Registration - YDU 955S
Chassis No. - GP83921J
M.O.T. - Exempt
Odometer - 1933
Here’s one to tuck away. It’s a completely standard, unmolested, unrestored 1978 Bonnie that was first registered in April 1978 and has evidently covered just 1,933 miles from new – a claim we understand is backed up by the mountain of accompanying old MOTs. The vendor informs us that he’s ridden the Triumph recently and can confirm that it ‘starts and runs well’, though volunteers that it might now benefit from a service. He currently classes the twin-cylinder engine, four-speed gearbox and bodywork as ‘excellent’ and the paintwork as somewhere between ‘good’ and ‘average’, and is now selling the bike complete with history file.
The 750cc version of Triumph’s ubiquitous Bonneville appeared in 1974. Then, in order to mark Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Silver Jubilee three years later, the company manufactured a special edition of the machine. One thousand were produced for the UK, a further thousand for the USA, and 400 for other overseas markets. All featured the same suitably patriotic red, white and blue livery.
