The final phase of Triumph twin development began in 1972 with the first appearance of the new enlarged-to-750cc version of the Bonneville, the increase in bore size necessitating a new crankcase to accommodate the larger barrels. Other improvements included a new ten-stud cylinder head, triplex primary chain, stronger transmission and a disc front brake. A five-speed gearbox, introduced on the preceding 650 Bonneville, was standard equipment on the 750. Despite the age of the basic design and strong competition from Japanese and European manufacturers, the Bonnie remained for many years the UK’s top-selling 750. In 1977 Triumph introduced a special, limited edition Bonneville to celebrate HM Queen Elizabeth II’s Silver Jubilee. This was basically the standard Bonnie enhanced by a red, white and blue on silver finish, coachlined cycle parts and chromed timing cover and primary chaincase. This example of one of the more collectible of later Bonnevilles was acquired by the vendor (its second owner) in May 1998. Offered with current MoT, the machine comes with its original Certificate of Ownership recording the first owner, who is confirmed as such on the accompanying Swansea V5C. directly from its first owner in 2003. Described as totally original and in good condition throughout having covered just 4,500 miles from new, the machine is offered with old-style logbook and Swansea V5.
