Clear

This is a complete 1963 Triumph Tina. It is quite rare. As you can see it is disassembled. The scoot is quite simple and easy to assemble. It is all there. The picture in the center is an example of a assembled scoot--NOT the scooter you are bidding on. Pics in the surround are of the actual disassembled scooter. This is a 80cc automatic. NO RESERVE NO title. Bill of sale only. Will not part out.On Jan-15-13 at 21:35:47 PST, seller added the following information: Correction: 100 cc.

It took a huge percentage of there R+D budget to develop, but never paid off.The bloke who owns the station where I take my bikes for their annual tests bought one quite recently to restore, it`s a beautifully simple machine about the size of a Vespa small frame.
