1959 Triumph 199cc Tiger Cub
Registration no. NPR 34
Frame no. T54393
Engine no. T20 21928

This Tiger Cub was restored to 'light trials trim' over a 10-year period by a previous custodian to reflect another Cub he had once owned. In November 2012 the Cub was sold by The Vehicle Restoration Co of Middleton-on-Sea to the immediately preceding owner, Antony Bowie. The current vendor purchased the Cub from Mr Bowie in March 2019 (bill of sale on file). The machine also comes with a TOMCC dating letter stating that the frame formed part of a Cub that was supplied to Badger Garage of Blandford, Dorset in July 1959, while the engine went to P Pike & Co of Plymouth, Devon in February 1956. Details of the aforementioned restoration may be found on file together with sundry bills; previous-owner correspondence; two MoTs (most recent expired 2016); and a V5C Registration Certificate. Last started in 2019, the machine is described by the vendor as in generally good condition with good/excellent frame, cycle parts and brightwork.
