The T100T variant of the Tiger was named in honour of and benefited from the company's success in the 500cc class at Daytona in 1966 which also gave it its more commonly used name - Daytona. It represented the ultimate development of the unit construction 500cc Triumph. The model code was changed to T100R for the 1971 season. When Motor Cycle News tested an example they recorded a top speed of 111 mph and still managed to record 64 miles to the gallon! Revisions which enabled these figures included the use of a 9:1 compression ratio, splayed inlets for the twin carburettors and Bonneville profile camshafts.
From the chassis number, ‘JMU’ is believed to have been built in August of 1974. The late vendor has owned this Triumph T100R for the last 48 years, since 1975! During the recent pandemic lockdown, some electrical work was started during the lockdown, but sadly those jobs and the intention never came to fruition and completion. The machine has not run for a few years and will need to be checked over and work carried out before putting it back on the road. It is offered with a current V5C and two keys.
