“The Tiger 100 is a thoroughbred sporting five hundred calculated to inspire pride of ownership both on account of its magnificent all-round performance and its handsome appearance,” enthused The Motor Cycle in 1952. Derived from the 5T Speed twin, the Tiger 100 was introduced in August, 1938, with a tuned 5T engine and attractive silver paint with black accents. Post-war, the T100 gained telescopic forks and a separate magneto and dynamo, the sprung hub became an option and for 1949 the instruments were moved from the tank to the new nacelle. An all-alloy engine arrived in 1951 and in 1954 Triumph dropped the sprung hub for a swing-arm frame that afforded the machine a handsome, slim-waisted appearance.

One of the first of the swing-arm Tigers, this "very good" 1954 machine was purchased by the previous owner in 2009 as a complete but tired project bike, and he commenced a comprehensive overhaul to a superb standard. Upon completion, it was sold to the present owner in 2011, and it has since been used for occasional runs though some light recommissioning will be required following a period of dry storage over the last two years. The paperwork file includes the current V5C, a continuation logbook from 1965, and many parts invoices.
