About a year and a half ago I bought a 1960 Tiger 110 off of Auto Trader, low and behold it belonged to a member of this perish!
A few years earlier I had agreed to buy a R1100GS off of the same member and then reneged as I found a R1150GSA closer to home. I always felt guilty about my actions but the UKGSer was most gracious about the situation and I appreciated his understanding. When I discovered that he was the same owner of the T110 that I did purchase I felt somewhat redeemed.
This is a picture of the bike as I received it. It started easily and ran smoothly. The bike while maintaining some of it's 1960 Tiger 110 heritage, matching frame and engine numbers, nacelle head light shroud being at the top of the list it was not as originally manufactures. Namely it had been painted in a non standard colours, was missing it's bath tube and deeply valanced front mud guard. The bike was also supplied with a wonderful build file from a previous owner who had passed away.
I was very touched to review all the notes the previous owner had compiled, he was obviously dedicated to the bikes rebuild while in his ownership and had done much good work to the bike internally and externally.
