The competition models of the Tiger 100 range were never officially available in the UK, the majority of them being exported to the USA for racing.
The initial TR5A/C model was replaced in 1962 by the T100S/C Tiger 100 Competition Trophy.In 1966 the model name was changed to the more recognisable T100C, and in 1968 the Tiger name was changed to Trophy 500. Over the 10 years the model was available it underwent a number of developments, not least to the frame. Twin upswept exhausts were introduced in 1966 and a twin leading shoe front brake was fitted from 1969.
The model was eventually replaced by the TR5T Trophy Trail / Adventurer.
