Post Listing Update: This Silver Jubilee got no action at $6,999. It was then relisted at the exact same price with the exact same results.
To celebrate the 25th year of Queen Elizabeth’s reign, Triumph built a limited edition of 2,400 Bonnevilles with silver/red/blue paint, a blue seat with red piping, some chrome, and decals on the sidecovers. Of the 2,400 bikes, 1,000 went to the US, 1,000 stayed home in the UK, and the rest were built for Commonwealth export.
It seems that the idea for this celebratory bike came from Lord Donald Stokes, who was consulting with Triumph while running British Leyland. Between international markets, the bike had different tanks, but there were also some differences in the sidecovers: UK bikes said “Limited Edition”, US bikes said “One of a Thousand”, and the other exports bikes said “International Edition.” Each bike also came with a Certificate of Ownership.
This example is claimed to be in “amazing condition and could be in excellent condition with very little effort.” It’s being offered by the second owner, who put on all but 1k of the 15,443 miles on the odometer. This example stands out thanks to the rare factory-approved Craven fiberglass panniers. While the bags open and close, the key that locks the luggage has been misplaced.
