Originally sold by Motorcycles Unlimited in Corte Madera, CA The 1977 T140J was launched as a limited edition of 1,000 in USA and an additional 1,000 in UK specification (plus 400 for Commonwealth export) of the T140V, produced to commemorate the 1977 Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II.[23] The idea originated with Lord Stokes who was Chairman of British Leyland and working as a consultant to the Meriden Co-operative. A silver finish with red and blue lining was used and was matched by a blue saddle with red beading. Primary drive, taillight housing and timing covers were chrome-plated and the wheel rim centres were painted and lined. US-version side panels had "One of a Thousand" written under Union Jack flag stickers, UK-version side panels had "Limited Edition", while the remaining 400 Commonwealth export bikes were badged "International Edition". Quickly established as a collectors item, each machine was supplied with a unique certificate of ownership.[24][25] Clean Idaho Title in my name! Transportation is the responsibility of the buyer.
