OFFERED FOR SALE IS A 1955 TRIUMPH T100 TIGER 100. I AM ONLY THE THIRD OWNER. SUPPLIED NEW IN AUGUST 1955 TO AUTOCARS ST ANNE'S ON SEA LANCS. MATCHING ENGINE AND FRAME NUMBERS. THIS BIKE WAS IN A COLLECTION FOR MANY YEARS AND HAS NOT ACTUALLY BEEN ON THE ROAD IN THE UK SINCE THE 80'S. I PURCHASED THE BIKE IN 2013. IT HAS THE ALL ALLOY CLOSE FIN MOTOR. IT DOES NOT HAVE THE ORIGINAL HEADLAMP NACELLE AND THE PETROL TANK IS OFF A SLIGHTLY LATER MODEL. THE DIFFERENCE BEING THE BADGES. HOWEVER. THE TANK IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION INTERNALLY. THE SEAT HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH SOME HANDMADE LEATHER PADS. HOWEVER. I DO HAVE THE ORIGINAL DUAL SEAT AND IT WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE SALE. OTHER THAN THE TANK AND NACELLE. EVERYTHING ELSE IS ORIGINAL. ALL THE ELECTRICS WORK. I HAVE ADDED A NEW HORN. REAR LIGHT LENS AND BATTERY. BRAKES WORK WELL. FRONT TYRE IS CRACKED AND NEEDS REPLACING. SWINGING ARM BEARINGS. HEAD STOCK BEARINGS ARE ALL GOOD. SUSPENSION WORKS AS IT SHOULD. THE BIKE STARTS. UNS AND RIDES THOUGH IT DOES NEED SETTING UP. IT HAS BEEN STOOD FOR A GREAT MANY YEARS. I HAVE RUN IT ROUND THE BLOCK A NUMBER OF TIMES AND EVERYTHING SEEMS OK. IT DOES POP AND FART. IT WOULD BENEFIT FROM A NEW CARBURETTOR AND THE MAGNETO REBUILT AND SET UP CORRECTLY. ALSO THE LEFT HAND EXHAUST IS BLOWING AT THE HEAD. OVERALL THE BIKE IS IN REASONABLE OILY RAG CONDITION. IT WOULD BE GREAT TO FULLY RESTORE OR NOT MUCH OF A JOB TO SET UP TO USE AS IT IS. THE BIKE IS ACTUALLY TAXED (EXEMPT) AND IS ALSO MOT EXEMPT BECAUSE OF ITS AGE. COMES WITH ITS ORIGINAL REGISTRATION WHICH IS TRANSFERABLE AND TRIUMPH OWNERS CLUB CERTIFICATE WHICH PROVES AGE AND MATCHING ENGINE AND FRAME NUMBERS. SOLD AS A RESTORATION PROJECT. THIS IS A 60 YEAR OLD MOTORCYCLE AND COMES WITH ABSOLUTELY NO GUARANTEES WHATSOEVER. WINNING BIDDER TO PAY CASH ON COLLECTION FROM THE STOCKPORT AREA WITHIN 7 DAYS OF AUCTION'S END.
