In 1959, Triumph launched themselves into the world of scooters with the Tigress. Capable of over 70mph with just 10hp, the scooter was designed for the motorcycle enthusiast.
Here we present a very original example in its largely original and heavily patinated paintwork with only minor touch-ups. It has been owned by the vendor's father since 2016. Prior to that we can see from the buff logbook that the scooter was first registered in Loughborough on the 8th February 1960 to an Ernest Smith, remaining around the Nottingham area until 1966. We are told by the vendor that the scooter was recommissioned just a few months ago, benefitting from a carburettor clean, new fuel tap and fresh oil. We understand it is 'running well', however, we were able to turn the engine due to the lack of a battery. The front badges and RAC badge are all original, as are the switches and lights. The scooter has a large period accessory windscreen with a very nice Cinque Ports Motorcycle Club badge and an original rear rack.
