My first bike after passing my test. A 1956 t110 bought in 1968 for £38. To my knowledge the 56 had the option of the ally head, mine was ally and for a 12 year old bike it was unusual to swap heads. I ended up blanking off the front brake air intake cos it was great at catching water which didn’t help in slowing down. Oil indicator on the cam timing case first time I’ve seen a straight one. Previous bike was an Ariel 250 twin port so the triumph was probably 3* more power. PS the Ariel cost me a £5 and come home in 2 wheel barrow, after putting it together and passing my test I sold it for a tenner. Everyone makes mistakes.Anyway beautiful bike.
Theres a coincidence, i passed my test in 1966 on a Royal Enfeild 250 Clipper, and then bought a Tiger110, alloy head, for £60, those were the days. And today or monday collect a BMW 1200 RT, in exchange for my FJR 1300 how times have changed. R ob.
I had a ‘56 T110 while I was at University between 1984-87. It was such a cool bike, very good power, but the front end was its weak point, the suspension is awful but period. I swapped it for a ‘62 Norton 650ss featherbed with roadholder forks, a proper handling bike. Both beautiful, I’d have either one again.
His bikes are indeed meticulously restored, and this is gorgeous.
Beautifully restored bike with attention to detail , seems so long- legged as if it was cruising along in top !

Sounds superb !
Looks like new!❤
A superb example.
Terrific example of a fine bike.
A lot of folk preferred these to Bonnies. '56 first year of alloy head. Proper hooligan bike.
Fabulous

Very nice !
Not an English bike fan, but that sounds beautiful.😊
I'd have that over a Bonnie any day. Much more torque at low revs and all the performance you'd ever want. Worth every penny and more.
Stunning bike I wont one
Mine 55 t110 has the iron head that should have to...🤔
She's beautiful....
i used to own one of those as a teenager ...cost me $150 from memory.
