Property of a deceased's estate 1954 Triumph 499cc Tiger T100 Registration no. 837 ANX Frame no. 58949 Engine no. T100 58949 The Tiger 100 sports version of Edward Turner's trend-setting Speed Twin reappeared in 1946 with telescopic forks in place of the original girders and separate dynamo and magneto instead of the pre-war magdyno. Produced almost unchanged for the next three years, the Tiger gained Triumph's distinctive headlamp nacelle in 1949 when the range was restyled. An alloy cylinder head and barrel were adopted for 1951, while a swinging-arm frame and 8'-diameter front brake were fitted from 1954 onwards. Triumphs of the Edward Turner era are among the most stylish of post-war British motorcycles, and the Tiger 100 with its handsome all-alloy engine is one of the most charismatic and sought after of them all. This T100 was purchased by the vendors late father in 1991 where it has been part of a collection and used sparingly. Since its acquisition, the late owner fitted a 12V lighting system instead of the original 6V to keep up with modern traffic. Not used for some years, it will need recommissioning to a greater or lesser extent before returning to the road and would respond well to detailing, the engine turns over. Offered with a substantial history file including a V5C, old style V5, manuals, parts lists, invoices and correspondence.
