Description
TRIUMPH TIGRESS 250 (1959) – ORIGINAL – COLLECTOR'S PIECE
Offered for sale is a magnificent Triumph Tigress 250 cc, one of the most distinctive British scooters of its era and a particularly appealing example for collectors of classic motorcycles.
Built by the prestigious British marque Triumph, the Tigress represents a very particular chapter in the company's history, when it brought its motorcycling expertise to the world of large-capacity scooters.
EXCEPTIONAL ORIGINALITY AND CONDITION
The main appeal of this machine is its outstanding condition and authenticity.
It retains its original factory paintwork, its grey and cream colour scheme, its accessories, decorative trim and original components, preserving the styling and character it had when it left the factory.
This is not a modified machine or a modern restoration, but a carefully preserved scooter, something especially prized in the historic vehicle market.
It has belonged to a private collection of classic motorcycles and cars and has always been kept in a garage, sheltered from the elements and looked after with particular care.
AN UNUSUAL BRITISH SCOOTER
The Triumph Tigress 250 is a relatively rare model and far less common on the collector market than the popular Vespa or Lambretta.
Its design, British origins and distinctive place in Triumph's history make it a piece of particular interest to marque collectors, enthusiasts of historic scooters and lovers of unconventional classic vehicles.
Its attractive colour combination, its characteristic late-1950s lines and the survival of its original components make this machine an excellent candidate to complete a specialist collection.
