The original 200cc T20 Tiger Cub was designed by Edward Turner, and launched at the Earls Court show in November 1953. It competed well against the other small-capacity motorcycles of the time, such as those using two-stroke engines from Villiers. By the late 1950s, the big 500cc 'thumpers' had been eclipsed in trials by small lightweight low capacity machines. Triumph were easily able to adapt their Tiger Cub into a successful machine, both for the works team and for the many privateers wanting them, as the basic machine had all the right attributes. Many adapted their own machines with further upgrades for competition use.

This circa 1960 Triumph Trials Competition special was built by Bob Haines, from parts at the Meriden factory. Bob had been an employee at Triumph’s Meriden factory. It has been used most of its life and shows a few ‘battle scars’. We have been advised it will need some light recommissioning before use. There are no documents with this lot.
