With the introduction of the 149cc Terrier in 1952, Triumph re-entered the market for lightweight commuter machines. A simple, compact four-stroke of unit construction with four-speed gearbox, the Terrier was joined in 1954 by a 200cc version - the Tiger Cub - that offered 60mph-plus performance and 100mpg. A huge success for Triumph, the Cub spawned a host of derivatives, including sports, trials, scrambles, enduro and trail versions. It was towards the end of production that the USA-only trail model - the Mountain Cub - was introduced, debuting for the 1964 season. To ensure that the bike was not mistaken for game and shot at by trigger-happy (and short-sighted?) hunters, the model was given a distinctive bright yellow finish. Presented in off-road trim, this Cub combines a frame dating from 1960 with a Mountain Cub engine dating from around 1966. Benefiting from considerable expenditure over a period of years, the machine is presented in very good/excellent condition and offered with Swansea V5 registration document.
