Lot 137
1962 Triumph 199cc Tiger Cub
Registration no. 79 DNX
Frame no. T85115
Engine no. T20SH 87248
In 1952, Triumph re-entered the lightweight commuter market with the 149cc Terrier, a straightforward four-stroke with a four-speed gearbox. By 1954, it introduced the 200cc Tiger Cub, capable of 60mph and achieving 100mpg. The Cub quickly gained popularity among younger riders and underwent continuous development for 16 years until its discontinuation in 1970. Today, the Tiger Cub remains a favourite among collectors, supported by a strong network of parts suppliers. This particular Tiger Cub was acquired by its late owner around 2007, as confirmed by DVLA correspondence on file. It is offered as a restoration project, with its mechanical condition currently unknown. The bike is missing a side panel and kickstart and is sold as seen. Included with the sale are a V5C, an old V5C, and 2007 DVLA documentation, providing a solid foundation for anyone interested in bringing this classic back to life.
All lots are sold 'as is/ where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding. Visit the Bonhams Motorcycles website for all pertinent auction information.
