In 1959, Triumph launched themselves into the world of scooters with the Tigress. Designed by Edward Turner of Ariel Square Four and Daimler ‘Hemi’ V8 fame, its 175cc two-stroke single cylinder engine produced 7.5 HP and featured forced air cooling plus a fully enclosed chain in an oil bath. Later a 250cc, 4-stroke 4-geared twin engine was also added. Also sold under the BSA-Sunbeam brand, Triumph were not quick to act on the model’s sales potential and floundered in the market, even though it was deemed a worthy machine for those who could get one. The differences between the BSA Sunbeam and Triumph Tigress were entirely cosmetic.

Here we have a presentable example that has been stored in a dry garage unused for many years. The vendor has never used it. The Triumph seems complete and in very good overall cosmetic condition with engine number ‘S 3606’. It is supplied with RF60 original log book and a modern V5C Registration Document suggesting that is has been roadworthy in recent times. All keys are present and lots of associated literature is included including a copy of the full workshop manual.
