1977 Triumph "Silver Jubilee"

The 1977 Triumph Silver Jubilee is one of the prettiest OIF T-140V to come out of the Meridian Factory. This particular machine was found in a guys basement in his cold storage room in bits as seen in the picture. Overall it has a hard life and it took almost two (2) years to completely restore her Majesty, as I called her. The hardest part was the re chroming the covers and finding the exact paint colours, as she wore blue, white red and silver. Someone has tried to repaint with very poor results, thus I had it plastic bead blasted clean and started the painting process. This particular Triumph now sits proudly at the National Mororcycle Museum in Anamosa, Iowa. Click on the links and go to the 70's at this site.
