The Tiger 100 sports version of Edward Turner's trend-setting Speed Twin reappeared in 1946 with telescopic forks in place of the original girders and separate dynamo and magneto instead of the pre-war 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 while a swinging-arm frame and 8"-diameter front brake were fitted from 1954 onwards. Triumphs of the Edward Turner era are among the most stylish of post-war British motorcycles, and the Tiger 100 with its handsome all-alloy engine is one of the most charismatic and sought after of them all. This Tiger 100 was Ernie's racer and is still in racing trim but comes complete with original road mudguards, etc. The HPI lists the start date of current keeper 12.06.1959 (the year Ernie married his wife Joan). There are no documents with this motorcycle, which is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed. The registration '418 VMT' is recorded in the HPI database; nevertheless, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to the VRN's validity prior to bidding.
