Invoices totalling 8, 192 Edward Turner's arrival at Triumph in 1936 resulted in extensive improvements to the existing range. A brilliant stylist, Turner transformed the Val Page-designed overhead-valve singles by adopting sports specification engines, high level exhausts, chromed fuel tanks, and an evocative new name: Tiger. Frames, forks, engines, and gearboxes were all improved for 1937 and a trio of randomly selected Tigers successfully completed a series of arduous speed trails to secure the Maudes Trophy for Triumph later in the year. Today, Turner's Tigers are widely recognised as the most stylish sports roadsters of the period and thus are highly sought after. Restored throughout, this Tiger 80 was acquired by Tony East in April 1999 and last taxed for the road to the end of May 2010. Accompanying paperwork includes numerous bills relating to the Tiger's restoration by Bryan Small Motorcycles circa 1999 totalling 8, 192; a previous owner purchase receipt (dated 10. 10. 95 when it was sold by Newton & Smyle Motorcycles on behalf of collector Bob Threader to a Mr Wilks of York); three old MoTs (most recent expired 2010); an original 1938 parts catalogue; and old/ current V5C registration documents. The odometer reading was 95 miles at time of cataloguing.
