PROPERTY OF A DECEASED'S ESTATE
1959 TRIUMPH 649CC TIGER T110
REGISTRATION NO. TWV 274
FRAME NO. 027614
ENGINE NO. T110 027614
This Tiger 110 was purchased by the late owner on 14th December 2017 from a close family friend (Brian Walker). Brian had purchased the Triumph from a Mr MacAllister on 1st August 2014 and described it as needing 'finishing off' at that time. Brian then proceeded to complete the restoration, the engine being rebuilt by Spike Olman. Apart from the owners listed on the accompanying old-style continuation logbook (issued 1964) nothing is known of the Triumph's early history. The late owner's widow knows nothing about the machine or the restoration. A family friend last started the machine approximately six months ago; however, it has not been ridden any distance and will therefore require re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent before further use (the engine turns over with compression). The Tiger is fitted with 'Travelling Marshal' type swept handlebars (a nice feature) and a Lucas competition magneto. There is some pitting to the paintwork and we are advised that the battery will need replacing. Additional documentation consists of an expired MoT (issued 1986), a current V5C Registration Certificate, and some Tri-Supply receipts dated 2010.
