In 1959, Triumph launched themselves into the world of scooters with the Tigress. With an Edward Turner designed 175cc two-stroke single cylinder engine producing 7. 5 HP. It was designed with forced air cooling with a fully closed chain in an oil bath. Later a 250cc, 4-stroke 4-geared twin engine was also added. Also sold under the BSA-Sunbeam brand, Triumph were not quick to act on sales potential and floundered in the market, even though it was deemed a worthy machine for those who could get one. The differences between the BSA Sunbeam and Triumph Tigress were entirely cosmetic.
Here we have a presentable example that has been stored in a dry garage unused for many years. The vendor has never used it. It seems complete and in very good condition. It is supplied with RF60 original log book and a modern V5C suggesting that is has been roadworthy in recent times. All keys are present and lots of associated literature is included including a copy of the full workshop manual.
