Description

1968 Triumph T100R Tiger Daytona 500 Listed on behalf of Monte Shelton Motors LOCATED IN PORTLAND, REGON. Triumph logged back-to-back wins at the Daytona 200 in 1966 and '67. No doubt inspired by these wins, n 1968 a gentleman purchased a new T100R Tiger Daytona. However, fter riding it less than 35 miles he realized the Daytona was just too much for him to handle. He parked it in his garage, here it remained for the next 47 years. Following his passing, he Daytona was removed from the garage and completely mechanically reconditioned by a Triumph specialist. They proclaimed it "like new" and it is now being offered here as a true time capsule. All components are original. Numbers-matching. Original frame, otor, ank, rim, eat, tc. ALL ORIGINAL. Bike was stored dry and well with only some slight pitting noted to the tank badges and some chrome. Please see photos. The 490cc OHV air-cooled parallel Twin V motor runs without fault - as you would expect with less than 35 miles! Original 4-speed transmission shifts well. Original dual 1-1/8" Amal carburetors. SEE VIDEO OF MOTOR RUNNING. These bikes are rated at 41 HP at 7200 RPM with a top speed of 105 mph. 45-60 miles per gallon. This is a rare opportunity to acquire what is most likely the lowest-mileage, riginal '68 Daytona available today. A realistic reserve has been placed on this bike in keeping with its condition and incredibly low, riginal mileage. Please bid accordingly. WE WILL HAPPILY SELL TO BIDDERS, ORLDWIDE.
