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 big success, particularly with younger riders, the Cub underwent continual development for the next 16 years, finally ending up with BSA Bantam cycle parts before being dropped in 1970. This restored example comes with correspondence from Oxfordshire County Council to previous owner Adrian Gidney confirming the details of its first registration and original owner. The machine also comes with a V5C document and a selection of photographs showing it prior to restoration. The odometer reading is 1.9 miles, which is believed to be the distance covered since restoration.
