  • Nicely presented pre oil-in-frame Tiger 100 500

Established in Coventry during 1885, Triumph is one of the most iconic and revered names in the history of motorcycling. In 1937 the Edward Turner-designed Speed Twin was released commencing a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomize British motorcycles in the post-war years. Many believe the various Bonneville, Tiger and Trophy models to be the ultimate expression of the classic British vertical twin with the late 1960s pre oil-in-frame variants representing the peak of Triumph development. The company supplied many police forces around the world with bikes, especially in the Commonwealth, with some of these making their way back to 'civvy street'.


This Tiger 100 is thought to have started life as a police bike, with the engine number reading T100P H67211. Returned to standard specification at some point, it joined the vendor’s private collection some ten years ago. Affectionately known as 'Old Bill', the Triumph is said to have been much loved but is now surplus to requirements. The vendor reports that it has been 'a great reliable runner’ during his ownership. The bike comes supplied with a current V5C.
