This car is to be auctioned at The Autumn Stafford Sale - The Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show
A development of the Thunderbird tourer, the T110 prototype performed brilliantly in the 1953 ISDT, thus providing the production version - launched later that year - with invaluable publicity. The first Triumph with swinging-arm rear suspension, the T110 came with a revised 649cc engine incorporating a stronger crankshaft, high-compression pistons, larger inlet valves and 'hotter' cams. The T110 remained in production into 1961, one of the most important developments along the way being the introduction on this model for 1956 of the aluminium-alloy 'Delta' high-compression cylinder head, which increased power and pushed the T110's top speed towards 120mph. This Tiger comes with a Triumph dating letter stating it is a 1954 T110 dispatched on 16th of January 1954 to a Mr Pickering in Shrewsbury. Also on file is an old-style Isle of Man logbook dating from 2001 (when Tony was the registered keeper) and a current IoM registration document. Restored throughout and last taxed until end of October 2012, the Tiger had 2, 075 recorded miles at time of cataloguing. Additional documentation includes Bryan Small's invoice for the restoration totalling 9, 395; a substantial quantity of invoices dating from 2000; an instruction manual; and a replacement parts list.
