This Triumph Tiger 90 is a 1937 model that has been restored to its original specification. It has been verified by the VMCC and a certificate is believed to be on file. The gentleman who restored the Tiger 90 purchased it some ten years ago and during that time he was getting all the missing original bits together along the way. The chroming on the tank and headlight shell had been done at some point before he bought it and was still in sound condition but the painting was poor so required attention.
Restored at a cost of over £12, 000. The frame and forks, tinware etc were all wet-painted as original. The engine was totally overhauled with all new bearings, bushes, valves and guides springs. The carb is NOS from Martin Bratby. Wheels were rebuilt with new British rims, stainless spokes and new bearings plus the mag dynamo was refurbished. Most of the work was carried out by Anson Classic Restorations in Coalville. The Triumph has been used sparingly before it was placed into a museum on display. The Triumph Tiger 90 will be checked over and run ready for the auction and is now offered with a V5C.
