In the mid-1960s. Triumph enjoyed no small success with their off-road competition machines on both side of the Atlantic. In 1966. for instance. the works team included Sammy Miller. Arthur Lampkin and Ray Peplow. all of whom secured Gold Medals in the Swedish International Six Days Trial. Peplow's 490cc Tiger 100SC can be viewed hereabouts in its current. restored condition - it was sold by Bonhams in 2010 for a chunky ??20k. Mind you. this machine has near-perfect provenance; the entire British team of six riders all scored gold. recorded no penalties. and finished second overall that year. The single-carb 500 run 9:1 compression and output around 37bhp at 7000rpm. The T100SC was considered to be extremely wieldy. too. with its high bars and slim seat: a potent little package. indeed. with the agile attitude more normally associated with 350cc machines of the era. In part. the SC's nimble nature was accomplished by leaving off some of the mod-cons you would expect to find on a road bike. It was considered to be an enduro model and used direct energy transfer ignition. so needed no battery. Best keeps the revs up if you wanted to see where you were going at night. then?ˆ¦ Ground clearance was excellent. however. with more than eight inches available for scrambling across ruts. The gearing was set up for that kind of activity so it romps away from the stop and tugs lustily through the mid-range.   Brakes on the T100SC were considered 'excellent' for the era and aren't bad by today's standards. The rear is a solid if unspectacular drum that's ideal for stabilising the machine on rough surfaces; the full-width alloy hub with seven-inch stopper up front proved better suited to road action. ALL NUMBERS MATCH ON THE CHASSIS AND ENGINE. THANKS FOR LOOKING. HAPPY BIDDING!!!
