Property of a deceased's estate, 1955 Triumph 499cc Tiger T100
Property of a deceased's estate
1955 Triumph 499cc Tiger T100
Registration no. not registered (see text)
Frame no. 57079
Engine no. T100 57079
The Tiger 100 sports version of Edward Turner's trend-setting Speed Twin reappeared in 1946 with telescopic forks in place of the original girders and separate dynamo and magneto instead of the pre-war magdyno. Produced almost unchanged for the next three years, the Tiger gained Triumph's distinctive headlamp nacelle in 1949 when the range was restyled. An alloy cylinder head and barrel were adopted for 1951, while a swinging-arm frame and 8"-diameter front brake were fitted from 1954 onwards. Triumphs of the Edward Turner era are among the most stylish of post-war British motorcycles, and the Tiger 100 with its handsome all-alloy engine is one of the most charismatic and sought after of them all.
Registered to the late owner in June 1975, this example currently displays a total of 2,035 miles on the odometer, which is believed to be the distance covered since an older restoration. The machine is offered in need of extensive recommissioning or possibly further restoration: the paintwork would likely respond well to detailing and the brightwork to being re-plated. It should be noted that the registration 'LAY 236' is not recorded in the HPI/DVLA database; however, the accompanying 1964 continuation logbook may assist the successful purchaser in retrieving that registration and re-registering the motorcycle under its original number.
All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.
