Description
Triumph Tiger 100 first produced in 1939 but war prevented further development and production was suspended in 1940 when the Triumph factory was destroyed by German bombers.
Post war saw the reintroduction of the model much the same as before hostilities. Notable changes were the introduction of telescopic forks and the repositioning of the dynamo to the front of the engine.
In 1949 the Tiger 100 was given a new tank and headlamp nacelle. The tank was largely chrome but this was short lived because of a world nickel shortage and the paint largely replaced chrome work.
