Hopefully these will come out ok, this is my latest acquisition, needs a little work but a lot of money has been spent on it.  |

Triumph Tiger Cub , 200cc circa mid `60s? I had one many , many years ago but mine was a Bantam Cub ( mongral built in 1968/9 )`.Also had a much rarer Triumph 150cc Terrier , if I remember correctly a 1955 model.This is when you could buy any old bike for just a couple of quid back in the mid to late `60s when the Japanese invasion really started to take off.

Yep its a t20 200cc tiger cub, 1963. Every thing thats been put back on has been refinished,rebuilt or renewed. Got if off some old chap it was given to him by his son, the old guy was not that keen and told me he prefers tractors lol!

My first proper bike, way back in 1967. Had lots of fun on it. A decade on, I was looking for another, but ended up with a CB250G5 & it's been jap bikes ever since.

Thanks Scott, i have been after one for a while and this is a abandoned project that has had a lot of money spent on it already. The wheels have been rebuilt with new rims and stainless spokes, frame has been stove enamelled it has a new harness wired in andthe engine has allegedly been rebuilt although i will rebuild it myself. How you see it in the picture is how i got it, it needs seat exhaust and carb..............all on my shopping list next month!
