Offered for your consideration is my beautiful, low mileage completely original '77 Triumph T140V Silver Jubilee with only 2,366 original miles. One of 1,000 designed to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Queen of England. These are rare and desirable bikes. This beauty came from a private collection/museum in the Pacific Northwest. It is original all the way down to the red line tires. The original tool kit is under the seat. She runs beautifully, and is a one or two kick starter cold and one kick starter warm without fail. The only things I've done to her in the two years I've owned her is change fluids, replace the battery, clean the carbs, replace the petcocks (the originals were leaking) and replace the rear master brake cylinder, as there was some leakage coming from the original. All the electrical components and switches work as new. Hi beam light, neutral light, oil light, instrument lights, horn and turn signals are all fully functional. There's no smoke or anything funny with her. She is a joy to ride and she gets tons of attention on the monthly vintage bike nights. She's also eligible for Antique Motorcycle Club of America events. As stated above, she is in fantastic original condition. As they are only original once there was no way I was going to do any repainting on a bike this low mileage. There are a few scratches here and there, all are old and are from storage moves. The chrome is in good to very good condition. The primary cover has some bubbling on it, however, I've never seen one yet that didn't. The chrome on the other side of the bike is superb. The rest of the chrome looks very nice. Most of the paint on the rims is intact. The tires are original red line Dunlops that were on the bike when new. Although the tread is near new, these are 40 year old tires and there's some checking in the rubber. I ride it like it is, however, I'd recommend changing tires before you take her on a long ride. I truly hate to part with this old girl. The grin factor when you ride her can't be beat. She handles like a dream and is simply a blast to ride. However, I own north of 30 bikes and I have to cull the herd. If you are in the Las Vegas area you are more than welcome to come by and inspect her. I've been a bike enthusiast all my life and collect and RIDE all my bikes. I'm most definitely not a re-seller or flipper. When you buy one of my bikes, you are buying one of my babies from my personal collection. I take great care of all my bikes! While she's a wonderful bike and you're going to love her, she is 40 years old. There is no warranty, express or implied. Feel free to ask any questions, but do your research and know what you're bidding on. It will make your and my life easier. If you are the high bidder and become the lucky new owner, I expect a $500 non-refundable deposit via Paypal within 48 hours of the end of the auction. The balance can be paid by cash, cashiers check or wire transfer, but this should be paid in full within 7 days of the auction's end. The bike and title do not leave my possession until the funds have cleared. I will be happy to store her for the new owner for up to 30 days. You will need to arrange your own transportation company to ship, or if you live nearby you are welcome to pick her up in person. I will entertain offers and will end the auction early for the right price. I'm not looking to get rich but this is not a fire sale. Original bikes with this low of mileage do not come along often, so bid or offer accordingly. Good luck, and happy bidding!
