1971 Triumph T100T, 490cc. Registration number EYE 234J. Frame number T100T DD 49242. Engine number T100T DD 49242.
Competition success in the USA prompted Triumph to adopt the Daytona name for their top-of-the range sports 500 in 1966. Housed in a new frame common to the Tiger 90 and Tiger 100, the twin-carburettor Daytona engine produced 39bhp at 7,400rpm. Dubbed a 'Bonnie in miniature' by the motorcycling press, the new sporting middleweight came equipped with the 8"-diameter front brake of its larger sibling. At around 110mph, top end performance rivalled that of the 650 too. For 1968 a ball-race timing side main bearing was introduced alongside Amal Concentric carburettors and improved front forks.
EYE is a matching numbers machine in purple, it had a new odometer in 2011 and was MOT'd at 13 miles, further MOT's in 2012 and 2013 saw the mileage rise to 214 miles when it was taken off the road. Recently lightly recommissioned the engine is running but road testing is advised.
