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. According to the Triumph Owner's Club, to identify the genuine examples, 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 1977 Triumph Bonneville Silver Jubilee special machine is a genuine US example, 'One of a Thousand', purchased by the current vendor to go with his collection of limited edition Triumphs. This machine has sat next to a Royal Wedding edition and a UK specification Jubilee 'Bonnie', also on offer in the sale. In good all round condition for its age, showing some signs of use and displaying some 8, 114 miles from new, some light recommissioning would be advised before use, due to storage. It is being offered with a current V5C and a Certificate of Authenticity.
