The Triumph Tiger 80 was a single-cylinder British motorcycle that Triumph made from 1936 until 1940, one of a lightweight Tiger range that also had the 250 cc Tiger 70 and the 500 cc Tiger 90. Edward Turner designed the range after Jack Sangster took over Triumph, and the model numbers advertised top speed. The Tigers sold well enough to bring the company back into profit, and they had distinctive chrome fuel tanks with silver-painted side panels. In 1937 a Tiger 80 ridden by Allan Jefferies averaged 74.68 miles per hour at Brooklands during the Maudes Trophy Trial. The Coventry Blitz of November 1940 destroyed the Priory Street works and ended production, and the Tiger name returned in 1993 on a Hinckley three-cylinder model.
