The 1959 Triumph Bonneville may be most famously associated with its namesake salt flats, but prior to that the Tiger 110 was setting speed records left, right and centre. Introduced in 1953 for the 1954 model year, the 650cc Tiger was Triumph’s top sports model. The Motor Cycle ran a T110 up to 109mph, but in 1956 American Johnny Allen secured the motorcycle land-speed record by running a much-modified T110 up to 214mph at Bonneville Salt Flats. In 1958, a twin-carburettor version set a production 650 record at 147mph. Later models featured the bathtub rear fairing, with the Bonneville becoming Triumph’s sporting flagship.
This matching-numbers, 1962-registered Triumph T110 is in remarkably good and apparently all-original condition. It is believed that it was placed into dry storage in 1972 and remained there until the present owner purchased it in 2013. He immediately and successfully applied to reinstate its original registration number, and went about sympathetically recommissioning the Triumph while carefully preserving its excellent original factory finish. It remained in use until just a few years ago, when the vendor’s attention turned to another project. This remarkable preservation specimen will just need some light recommissioning before being enjoyed again. It comes with a current V5C, some DVLA correspondence and some pictures taken as it was when acquired by the vendor.
