In 1937, Triumph released the Edward Turner-designed Speed Twin, heralding a range of Triumph twins that would go on to epitomise British motorcycles of the post-war years. The Tiger 100 was the sports version of the Speed Twin and marketed as the 'supreme mount for the sportsman'. The Motor Cycle described the model as a 'thoroughbred sporting 500 calculated to inspire pride of ownership both on account of its magnificent all round performance and its handsome appearance'.
This Triumph T100 on offer was despatched to G. W. Wilkin Ltd. in Surrey on 21st May 1948. Its history is not known until 1997 when a Mr. Stevens purchased it. He took the head for a refurbishment to the Cylinder Head Shop in 2001 and had hardened valve seats fitted, and the same year sold it to the late owner, with whom it formed part of a Triumph collection. It comes with a current V5C, Science Museum certificate, and old MOT certificates. Light recommissioning will be required before use
