The T100 (Tiger 100) was a standard motorcycle first made by the British motorcycle company Triumph in 1939. With the sales success of the Triumph Speed Twin, Edward Turner, Triumph's motorcycle designer, looked further into developing the potential of the new parallel twin motor. The lighter and more powerful T100 was developed as a sports enthusiasts' machine, and as with previous models the "100" referred to its claimed maximum speed in miles per hour (mph). Production ceased when the Triumph factory was destroyed by German bombing in 1940 during World War 2, but recommenced in 1946. Several variants were manufactured until 1973.
This 1939 Triumph T100 has been with the current vendor for a few years and has formed part of a collection of Triumph motorcycles. A correct numbers machine, one of Triumph's most iconic pre-war machines. not used for the last couple of years due to other commitments and will need to be recommissioned before use.
