- On static display in recent times so will require recommissioning prior to use
Introduced in 1939, the Triumph Tiger 100 (or T100) shared much of its DNA with the Edwad Turner designed ‘Speed Twin’. Recommencing production after WW2, the model was upgraded with telescopic front forks and subject to ongoing revision. Switching from magneto to coil ignition for 1953 and adopting a sprung rather than rigid frame the following year, the Triumph could be had with a range of ‘over the counter’ tuning kits. Displacing 500cc, its ‘vertical twin’ engine lacked the grunt of the more overtly sporting T120 Bonneville but was arguably the sweeter powerplant.
Reputedly subject to an older restoration prior to joining the late vendor’s collection of British motorcycles, this pre-unit machine has been on static display for many years and so will require recommissioning prior to use. Offered for sale without reserve or paperwork, a new owner will have to enlist the help of the Triumph Owners’ Club should they wish to have the Tiger 100 re-registered with the DVLA.
