'Britain's lowest-priced '200', the Triumph T20 Tiger Cub, impresses even a seasoned tester with its outstandingly good all-round performance and value. This four-stroke lightweight is game for a genuine 64-65mph; it will cruise energetically all day in the mid-fifties; and it will return fuel consumption figures little short of remarkable, whatever the throttle openings used.' - Motor Cycling. With the introduction of the 149cc Terrier in 1952, Triumph re-entered the market for lightweight commuter machines. A simple, compact, unitary construction four-stroke with four-speed gearbox, the Terrier was joined in 1954 by an enlarged version - the 200cc Tiger Cub - that offered 60mph-plus performance and 100mpg. A big success, particularly with younger riders, the Cub underwent continual development for the next 16 years, finally ending up with BSA Bantam cycle parts (as the Bantam Cub) before being dropped in 1970. The model remains a favourite with today's collectors, many of whom would have commenced their riding career on a Cub, and is well served by an extensive network of parts suppliers and other specialists. Described by the vendor as recently rebuilt, this T20S/L 'street scrambler' model has been updated with electronic ignition and last ran one year ago. Accompanying documentation consists of ab old-style continuation logbook (1968) and a current V5C.
