Other interesting Triumph stuff

International Six Days Trial Team Triumph, Italy, August/September 1931

Jack Wickes own outfit, Tiger 100 hitched to torpedo sidecar. Several extras including check-spring forks although registration dates to November 1938.

Thanks Jack Wickes archive

Very rare. 1940 special order factory racer prepared for Roddy Rodenberg, Daytona Beach speed record event.

Bike sports many mods including special mudguards, handlebars, magneto, footrests, carb. and tuned engine with bronze head. Thanks Bill Perretti.

Another from the US. Tiger 100 stripped for flat track racing judging by offset pipes.

Period customs like this can often be more interesting than just another restoration to factory stock and need to be preserved if found.

Our American friends don't always get it right. Spotted at a show in Ohio.

Bike was hard to photo as it was attracting a bigger crowd than anything else!
