Offered for your consideration is a bike from my personal collection, my 1977 Triumph Silver Jubilee. She is showing only 13,838 miles from new, although she may have a few more on her before the auction ends. Most of you are familiar with the Silver Jubilee edition, there were 1,000 of them produced for the U.S. market in 1977 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II. These bikes quickly became sought after collectors bikes, and many of them wound up in motorcycle museums around the world. They remain one of the most desired Triumphs ever made. I have owned her for a few years. Mechanically she's in superb condition. The engine is strong as an ox and you can run her at highway speeds all day. The transmission, carbs, brakes and other items are all in top notch condition. The engine does not burn oil and only leaves enough drops of oil on the ground when parked to let you know she's properly British. She is without fail a one or two kick starter. Right before I bought her she has been serviced by John Ireland at The English Patient north of Los Angeles. He is one of the foremost British bike mechanics in the U.S. He rebuilt the carbs, set the valves and timing, and pronounced the engine in top shape, needing nothing else rebuilt or serviced. The tires are in good shape. She is a matching numbers bike and I have a clear title in my name. Cosmetically she has obviously been repainted at some point before I bought her. Even though there are a few chips the paint is bright and shiny and gets attention. The blue paint on the front rim is about 75% and on the rear wheel about 40-50%. Please look at the pictures to see the cosmetic condition of the bike. I really hate to part with her, but I am selling a few of my personal bikes for a new project. That's what is prompting me to make the tough decision to part with some of my collection. For the winning bidder, the shipping is the responsibility of the buyer but I will be happy to assist with shipping both domestically and internationally. She is 40 years old, so needless to say you are buying her as is, where is with no warranty express or implied. I expect a non refundable $200 deposit within 24 hours of the auction's end with the balance paid within 7 days. I will accept paypal for the deposit with the balance to be paid by money order, wire transfer or cash. Anything other than cash I will need 5 banking days to make sure there are no issues before I release the bike. If you are in the area you are more than welcome to arrange to see her in person. I have her for sale locally and do reserve the right to end the auction early if she sells. I also retain the right to reject bids from zero feedback bidders and/or bidders with significant negative feedback. She's a wonderful bike and she'll make somebody very happy. Good luck and happy bidding!
