The 1959 Triumph Bonneville may be most famously associated with its namesake salt flats, but prior to that it was the Tiger 110 which was setting speed records left, right and centre. Introduced in 1953 for the 1954 model year, the 650cc Tiger was conceived as Triumph’s top sports model, with the head office foreseeing particular success in America, where big British 650s were in great demand. So-named for a claimed 110mph top speed, The Motor Cycle ran a T110 up to 109mph, but in 1956 American Johnny Allen secured the motorcycle world land-speed record by running a much-modified T110 up to an astonishing 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 taking over as Triumph’s sporting flagship.

Dating from the very end of production, this 1962 Triumph T110, in a characteristically vibrant scheme of Kingfisher Blue and Silver, was purchased by the late owner several years ago in restored condition for his large collection of mainly British motorcycles. Having seen little action since, it still presents very well but will require recommissioning before going onto the road. The sale includes a V5C.
