"1977 Triumph Silver Jubilee

In celebration of the Queen's Silver Jubilee in 1977, Triumph released a special edition based on the standard 750 T140. A silver finish with red-and-blue lining was used and was complemented by a royal-blue saddle with red beading. The primary drive and timing covers were chrome plated and the wheel-rim centres were painted and lined in the traditional manner. Only 2,400 examples were built, of which 1000 went to the United States.
