Triumph is one of the most iconic and revered names in the history of motorcycling. Established in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made their first motorcycle beginning a continuous run of production under various ownership until its eventual closure in 1983. The Tiger Cub 200cc single was one of their more popular models and gave many future enthusiasts their first taste of motorcycling.

The frame number on this bike suggests it is a rare 1968 Super Cub model, a combination of the classic 200cc Triumph engine in a late BSA Bantam frame. It was designed in the dying days of the BSA/Triumph group as a cost effective way of resisting the onslaught of the Japanese manufacturers. The combination of the two bikes worked well together but a difficult relationship between the two factories led to an unhappy marriage and only about 2500 were made. This bike was restored about 10 years ago and comes supplied with a photographic record and a CD Rom of the rebuild. Bought by the vendor in 2015, he has since shown it at various vintage events and it comes supplied with a current V5C.
