1961 TRIUMPH T20 TIGER CUB
Registration No: 779DOL
Frame No: T78145
Engine No: T2075522
Guide Price: No Reserve

Introduced in March 1954, the Triumph T20 Tiger Cub was a snip at £127, a little over half the price of its big brother, the 650cc Triumph 6T Thunderbird. This attractive four-stroke 199cc bike, with its instantly recognisable exhaust note, was Triumph’s answer to the popular but smokey, two-stroke BSA Bantam. Built at Triumph’s factory at Meriden and with a top speed approaching 70mph, the Cub won many admirers selling over 110,000 units in the 15 years of its production.

You will have to travel far and wide to find a better example of this popular model. This great-looking blue and orange example has been fully restored to near concours condition and comes with invoices totalling over £6,250. Supplied with the original registration document, this pristine example is not only tax and MoT test certificate exempt but is has been recognised by the Tiger Cub Owners Club with its provenance logged in their archive.

1965 TRIUMPH TIGER CUB 

Registration: KJH 126C

Frame Number: T2096989

Side Car: No

Engine Number: T2096989

Number of cylinders: 1

CC: 199

Year of Manufacture: 1965

Estimate (£): 2,500 - 3,000

• Everyone loves a Tiger Cub
• A sought after 1965 example with matching numbers
• Recently had a recommission and restoration. Starts and runs well 
• Lovely colour combination. a veritable 'Baby Bonneville'

The 199cc T20 TRIUMPH TIGER CUB was introduced in March 1954 priced at £127 (a little over half the cost of a new Triumph 6T Thunderbird). It supplemented (and then superseded) the much loved but a tad underpowered 149cc T15 Terrier, the company’s first post-war single.

The T20 Tiger Cub brief was clear and straightforward.  It was to be a small bike that filled a gap at the low end of the range but with big pretensions or more realistically, big aspirations.  A four-stroke bike that could be an antidote to the fog of British two-strokes belching smoke at every set of traffic lights but, most importantly, a bike that capitalised on the appeal of Triumph’s established muscle machines (the Speed Twin, Tiger 100 and Thunderbird), but with lightweight, commuter—and even boy racer—appeal. Some sixty years later with the benefit of hindsight, there is no doubt it succeeded.

We understand from Tiger Cub aficionados that bikes from 1965 are the ones to have which is exactly what we have here. It has recently had a recommission and restoration which appears to have been carried out to a good standard and is smartly finished in Orange over Cream with a Black frame. In common with most Cubs of the period, things get swapped around. The side panels are missing but that's fairly normal, the headlight unit looks more Sports Cub, and the bars are quite high, possibly US spec or from an SR or SM but, essentially, the frame and engine numbers match,(TC2096989). The bike starts and runs well and the engine is quiet. It has only covered a small milage since the rebuild before sitting in the vendor's heated garage and having little use since. A cracking example of everyone's favourite bike from the early sixties.
