The T140D Bonneville Special launched in 1979 was essentially a cosmetic update of the classic T140, but did feature some updates carried over from the limited edition Silver Jubilee. The 7 spoke cast wheels are a stand-out feature. As well as the classy style, they still offer real character as a weekend rider and are much lighter than the large 4 cylinder bikes from Japan that were their main competition at the time. Production of the T140D ended in March 1980 so this bike, registered 10th May 1980, appears to be a late one. The bike appears remarkably original, with matching engine and frame numbers. Fitted with front and rear disk brakes and presented in very nice black paintwork with gold pin striping, some mild tarnishing to the bright work is evident. Last taxed 1999, 13,342 miles are recorded to the odometer. The vendor has owned the machine since November 1992 and the V5 from that time lists '4 former keepers'.
