1937 Triumph 350cc Tiger 80
Registration no. CRU 880
Frame no. TL.2211 (see text)
Engine no. 7-T80-1418.
Edward Turner's arrival at Triumph in 1936 resulted in extensive improvements to the range. A brilliant stylist, Turner transformed his predecessor Val Page's overhead-valve singles by adopting sports specification engines, high level exhausts, chromed fuel tanks and a new name: Tiger. Frames, forks, engines and gearboxes were all improved for 1937. Today, Turner's Tigers are widely recognised as the most stylish sports roadsters of the period and thus are highly sought after.
This Tiger 80 has appeared in the TV series Partners in Crime (2014) and the film The King's Speech (2010). Call sheets for these two productions are on file and the Triumph also comes with a photograph of it taken during the making of the TV drama series Upstairs Downstairs (2010). There is also a signed letter from David Jason dated 8th June 2010 thanking John Marchant for his assistance on the documentary film, The Battle of Britain (see photographs and call sheet on file). 'CRU 880' has belonged to John since at least 1980, as evidenced by dated invoices on file. Additional documentation consist of a quantity of expired MoTs; a current V5C Registration Certificate; a reproduction parts list; an original instruction manual; and quantity of photocopied literature. Please note that, in addition to the factory stamps on the headstock and to the rear of the frame, there is an additional stamp of F.1630 on the top tube.
This machine has been stored in dry conditions and has seen little or no use since 2016. Accordingly, it is sold strictly as viewed and may require varying degrees of recommissioning and/or restoration prior to further use.
