The Tiger 100 sports version of Edward Turner's trend-setting Speed Twin was launched in 1938, reappearing in 1946 with telescopic forks in place of the original girders, and separate dynamo and magneto instead of the pre-war version's 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, these and other engine improvements boosting power to 32bhp, while a swinging-arm frame and 8"-diameter front brake were fitted from late 1953 onwards. A 'sprung hub' model, this Triumph special consists of a frame dating from 1954 and a 1955 Speed Twin engine fitted with a Tiger 100 all-alloy top end. There are no documents with this Lot, which is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed.
