Originally introduced for the 1939 season, the Triumph Tiger 100 quickly became a symbol of British engineering excellence. This particular 1959 model, purchased by the current vendor in 1972, showcases the evolution of the Tiger 100 series. In 1950, the head and barrel were upgraded to aluminium castings, and by 1957, it featured a twin port head. The pre-unit construction was eventually replaced by a unit construction machine for the 1960 model year.

The vendor used this T100 for commuting to college and work before it was laid up for many years after acquiring a car. Later, the vendor and a friend restored the bike, bringing it back to life for occasional rides and VMCC events. This well-maintained machine has been a reliable companion. An interesting note is the discrepancy in the engine and frame numbers, with the continuation logbook showing ‘028199’ and the current V5C showing ‘028499’. This is likely a ‘typo’ error in the logbook. The stamping appears correct and a letter from the TOMCC confirms the engine/chassis number belongs to ‘133 GKL’. Included in the sale are a Dating Certificate from the TOMCC and the current V5C.
