Lot 138
1957 Triumph 199cc Tiger Cub Project
Registration no. 549 AKM
Frame no. T32104
Engine no. T20 32104 (see text)
In 1952, Triumph re-entered the lightweight commuter market with the 149cc Terrier, a simple four-stroke with a four-speed gearbox. In 1954, it was joined by the 200cc Tiger Cub, offering 60mph and 100mpg. Popular with younger riders, the Cub saw continuous development for 16 years before being discontinued in 1970. The Tiger Cub remains a collector's favourite today, supported by a strong network of parts suppliers. This incomplete Tiger Cub was acquired by its late owner in June 1983 and shows 63, 810 miles on the odometer. It is offered for restoration and sold as viewed with a V5C, old V5C, and an old photocopy V5. Note: The V5C lists the engine number as T20T32104, but no 'T' prefix is visible on the machine.
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.
