With the introduction of the 149cc Terrier in 1952, Triumph re-entered the market for lightweight commuter machines. A simple, compact, unitary construction four-stroke with four-speed gearbox, the Terrier was joined in 1954 by an enlarged version - the 200cc Tiger Cub - that offered 60mph-plus performance and 100mpg. A huge success for Triumph, particularly with younger riders, the Tiger Cub spawned a host of derivatives including sports, trials, scrambles, enduro and trail versions. The Cub underwent continual development for the next 16 years, finally ending up with BSA Bantam cycle parts before being dropped in 1970. The model remains a favourite with today's collectors, many of whom would have commenced their riding career on a Cub, and is well served by an extensive network of parts suppliers and other specialists.

This Tiger Cub was used for racing by Ernie's brother. There is not much more information available and there are no documents present. It should be noted that the registration hitherto associated with this machine, '571 JPU', is not recorded in the HPI/DVLA databases and thus the machine is considered unregistered. Sold Strictly as viewed.
Offered without key
