Launched at the 1953 Earls Court Motorcycle Show, the new Tiger Cub was light, easygoing, fun and ultimately popular with enthusiasts. By 1960 the troublesome, overstressed crankshaft assembly was now more rigidly supported by centre split crankcases, and fed by a better oil pump. Larger 17'' wheels were fitted together with a wider rear swing arm and longer dampers. 

For servicing, you could remove the head without dropping the engine, and many other small improvements made the Tiger Cub a much more reliable ride. The public agreed, 11,000 were sold in 1960.

Despatched in February 1960 to Hulls Motorcycles of Tilbury, this Cub has formed part of a small classic bike collection in recent years, only being sold due to the recent passing of its owner. In the history file we find an older buff log book and current V5C, owner’s club dating letter, older MoT certificate (1971), photographs and schedule of recent maintenance. Last serviced in May 2023 (at 170 miles indicated), we are sure this lovely Triumph will make a very smart looking entry classic.
