The Triumph Tiger 110 is a British sports motorcycle that Triumph first made at their Coventry factory between 1953 and 1961. The T110 was developed from the Triumph Thunderbird and first appeared in 1954. Although it was supposed to be the sports model of the Triumph range, the Tiger 110 was later fitted with the rear panelling that was introduced with Triumph's 350cc 3TA twin in 1959.
This Triumph T110 had only done 1, 281 miles since 1982 when the vendor purchased it in 2019. Unfortunately, there is no history before 1982, except for the old buff logbook. The T110 has since been restored using quality British Triumph parts, including a top-end engine overhaul with 8. 1 pistons instead of 9. 1 due to the head being skimmed. The bottom end was in excellent condition and received an uprated oil pump. The oil pump was uprated and the magneto was refurbished along with a new carburettor. The restoration also included new fork stanchions and the front brake was rebuilt by Dick Hunt Racing. Attention was also paid to the clutch, front sprocket, chain, rear drum and bearings and shod with fresh tyres and a new font wheel with stainless spokes. It also benefitted from a new wiring harness and switches, cables, brake and clutch levers. Fresh Triumph Silver Grey and Black was applied, including transfers along with some re-chroming. The seat foam and cover were also renewed. The Triumph runs very well and is ready for its new owner for another summer. It is an excellent example of the model and comes complete with a V5C, sundry spares and some invoices for parts and work carried out.
