In 1957 it was the twin carb T110 that set a new 650cc production machine speed record of over 238kph. As a development of the Thunderbird tourer, the T110 prototype performed brilliantly in the 1953 ISDT providing the production version – launched later that year – with invaluable publicity. Off the shelf, the Tiger 110 was advanced and performance focused. The first
Triumph with swinging-arm rear suspension, the T110 came with a revised engine incorporating a stronger crankshaft, high-compression pistons, larger inlet valves and ‘hotter’ cams. The T110 offers classic lines and celebrates the very best of British with its lovely parallel-twin generous geometry. This is a superior example with good provenance.
