Originally introduced for the 1939 season, the Tiger 100, developed from the Speed Twin and offered as a sporting alternative to that model, quickly earnt a reputation for performance and reliability. Over the ensuing twenty years the model benefited from a continual process of development reflecting improvements in motorcycle design and technology. The rigid frame was joined in the post war period by one equipped with a sprung hub, before both were replaced with a pivoted fork design in 1954. The head and barrel changed to aluminium castings in 1950 and in 1957 gained a twin port head. The pre unit Tiger 100 was eventually replace by a new unit construction machine for the 1960 model season bearing the same name.
This black and silver example is described by the vendor as being in very good condition throughout having been restored. Dating form the last year of pre unit construction it is arguably the most attractive version of the model.
