1956 Triumph 197cc Tiger Cub
Registration no. VTA 329
Frame no. 26088
Engine no. T20 26088
Triumph's first attempt at entry-level machines was the 150cc ohv 'Terrier' in 1953. Friendly but under-powered, this was superseded by the T20 'Tiger Cub' in 1955. Sharing the plunger-sprung frame, the extra 64mm x 66mm 50cc made all the difference, with the 'Cub' becoming a justifiably popular machine with a following of its own and many variations to follow. 'VTA 329' is a matching-numbers example of the first 'Tiger Cub' and presents in very good order. Recently rebuilt (photos and bills on file) to believed original specification and finish, the machine is offered complete with a V5C and old RF.60 logbook. This delightful machine will require the usual safety checks before returning to the road.
