Triumph T100 Tiger
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
aluminum 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.
