USED IN CANADA The 1977 T140J was launched as a limited edition of 1,000 in USA and an additional 1,000 in UK specifications (plus 400 for Commonwealth export) of the T140V, produced to commemorate the 1977 Silver Jubiliee of Queen Elizabeth II. The idea originated with Lord Stokes who was Chairman of British Leyland and working as a consultant to the Meriden Co-operative.

Technique

LAST OF THE BRITISH VERTICAL TWINS, A DESIGN INTRODUCED BY TRIUMPH IN 1938. In 1976, two models were produced and these were single- and twin-carburettor versions of the same machine (T140V Bonneville and the TR7RV Tiger). Both machines employed the 744 cc twin-cylinder engine with the five-speed gearbox built-in unit. The frame was a modified version of the earlier one carrying the engine oil in the main spine and the forks were unchanged. The rear wheel gained a disc brake to make the front and was hydraulically operated from a right brake pedal. 1977 was the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth's reign and to commemorate this, and in anticipation of a demand for limited-edition ranges, Triumph built the Silver Jubilee Bonneville. The machine was based on the standard 750 cc twin with a very nice finish in red, white and blue on silver. The primary chaincase and timing cover were chrome plated and Red Arrow tires and Girling gas rear units were fitted as standard. The tank, mudguards, wheel rims, chain guard and side covers were all hand lined in red on white surrounding blue. The body of the tank was finished in silver as were the mudguards and the side covers. These each carried a white panel with a Union Jack, Silver Jubilee 1977 and Limited Edition.
