This Tiger 100 has been in the same family ownership for the last 50 or so years apart from a 20-year period when it was owned by a family friend. The Triumph was repurchased when the friend died. We are advised by the private vendor that the machine underwent an engine-out rebuild some years ago: new paint, new stainless steel wheel rims, rebuilt speedometer, new chain, new tyres, seat re-covered, etc (the engine was not rebuilt). The speedometer was reset with an estimated mileage of what the Tiger 100 had covered at the time. The current odometer reading (at the time of cataloguing) shows some c.5,542 miles. MoTs on file show the odometer reading increasing from 1,995 in March 1993 to 5,329 in August 1998. However, it has not been possible to verify the mileage covered since the machine left the Meriden factory almost 70 years ago. Kept in dry storage for the last 20-plus years, the Tiger last ran in January 2023 and will require re-commissioning before returning to the road. Sold because the vendor is moving abroad, the machine is offered with the aforementioned expired MoTs and a V5/V5C Registration Certificate.
