1967 Triumph Tiger Cub,200 cc. Registration number LKH 362E. Frame number T20B 5675. Engine number T20B 5675.
With the introduction of the 149cc Terrier in 1952, Triumph re-entered the market for lightweight commuter machines. A simple, compact four-stroke of unit construction with four-speed gearbox, the Terrier was joined in 1954 by a 200cc version - the Tiger Cub- that offered 60mph-plus performance and 100mpg. A big success for Triumph, particularly with younger riders, the Cub underwent continuous development for the next 16 years, gaining 16" wheels for 1956, a swinging-arm frame and hydraulically-damped forks for 1957, energy transfer ignition and 17" wheels for 1960 and points in the timing cover for 1963. Changes to the engine were countless. The Cub finally ended up with BSA Bantam cycle parts and was dropped in 1970.
LKH was first registered by Jordan's of Hull on the 17th June 1967 and sold to Douglas Goulsbra of Hedon on the 27th. He retained it until he sold it to Eric Lackey in 1980 and then to his son in 1999. Our vendor bought it in May 2013. Basically unused since Douglas sold it it is in very good original condition.
There is an MOT on file from 1980 at 5,040 mile and another from 2013 at 5,050 miles, today it is at 5,051 miles.
Sold with the V5C, V.E. 60, the two MOT's and a Tiger Cub owners handbook, this machine will require light recommissioning.
