With the 500cc Tiger 100 proving popular in Britain, Triumph created the even livelier Tiger 110 for the American market in 1953. Developed from the 650cc Thunderbird, it had four speeds and was so named for its supposed top speed (The Motor Cycle managed to get 109mph out of it). While early models used cast-iron cylinder barrels and heads, they soon gained a light alloy head. For most of the ’50s, it remained Triumph’s top performance model, until the Bonneville T120 appeared in 1959. T110 production continued to 1961.

This fantastic Tiger T110 has recently emerged from a very high-quality restoration. The previous vendor bought it in 2019, slightly down at heel as it had covered barely over 1,000 miles since 1982. He restored it using the best available parts, and overhauled the engine’s top end with 8:1 pistons instead of 9:1, owing to the head being skimmed. The bottom end was excellent, but received an uprated oil pump, while the magneto and carburettor were refurbished. New fork stanchions were fitted and the front brake was rebuilt by Dick Hunt Racing. The clutch, front sprocket, chain, rear brake and bearings received attention, while the front wheel, both tyres, wiring harness, switches, cables, and brake and clutch levers were renewed. It was repainted in Silver Grey and Black with new transfers, and the seat foam and cover were renewed. Seen to run well, it is an excellent example and fully deserves to be shown. It is supplied with the V5C, a buff logbook, many invoices and some spares. Best in show at the Sammy Miller Museum 2017
