The Triumph Tiger T100 was one of the great British performance bikes of the 1960s, serving as a sportier variant of the 5TA unit-construction model with increased compression and hotter cams. Other features included larger wheels and a coil ignition system, evolving through the decade with updates like 12-volt electrics and twin-leading-shoe front brakes by 1969. Numerous styling cues gave the Tiger T100 a distinctly lightweight and sporting appearance – instead of the 1950s ‘bathtub’ fairing, it used the new, skimpier ‘bikini’ fairing (which was later dropped altogether); the nacelle was discarded in favour of a freestanding headlight and the chunky ‘Roman helmet’ front mudguard was replaced by a slimmed-down item. The model was built between 1961 and 1970 and won renown for its comfortable riding position and reliable engine despite its focus on performance. Built in a range of guises, the T100SS generally referred to the sporty single-carburettor variant.

This bright and rather rakish 1963 Tiger T100SS has benefitted from past restoration to a very high standard. In the present ownership since 2007, it has been widely shown and enjoyed, in addition to being sympathetically maintained and always checked after use, and the vendor describes it as “good” in all areas. The sale includes the current V5c, an historic RF60 logbook and a selection of old MOT certificates.
