Glad you like it!
The Triumph Tina and subsequent T10 were designed by the Great man himself, Edward Turner,once head of Triumph Motorcycles, he who can name the Ariel Square four and Triumph Speedtwin amongst his design successes. Unfortunately the Tina was not. It was rushed into production well before it had been proven and suffered from numerous faults which effectively put off the buying public. The T10 launched in 1965 as a successor to the Tina, had all the original design faults ironed out...but by then its reputation was tarnished.
The Tina and T10 are powered by a Turner designed 100cc 2 stroke engine with a belt driven CVT final drive.
Some say - one of the 1st CVT scooters that was mass produced. Othe Scooters made by the BSA Group / Triumph were the Tigress and BSA Sunbeam scooter. These were made in the late fifties up to early sixties. Available in 250cc twin and 175cc single variants but with regular chain driven final drive.
Like most people I stumbled upon the T10 scooter without knowing they existed when looking for a project to restore. I now have six of these little scoots awaiting restoration. I'm hooked...but not sure why!! Nurse!!!
