Turner recognised the soundness of the Page-designed singles and used them as a basis to create a new range of glamorous sporting machines. Existing models were fitted with the sports specification engine and exhaust. The engine cases were polished and the petrol tanks were chromed and painted with Silver Sheen panels lined in Blue, endowing the motorcycles with startling looks. The new Triumphs were given names that reflected their character and hinted at their performance, with the models being announced to the world as the Tiger 70, 80 and 90 for the 250, 350 and 500 variants respectively.

This 1938 Triumph Tiger 80 was restored around 2000 and has been enjoyed in many events in the first few years of completion. The late owner used it to go to the Isle of Man in 2001 and it never let him down and did a lap of the island. Due to the workload, the Triumph was stored up and not used for a few years and will need the usual checks before placing back on the road. It comes with an old-style V5, various paperwork and some copies of handbooks.
