Year of picture

[stusco]

This is my dad on his brand new triumph tigercub but he can’t remember the year

Plate not recognised, so can't tell when the bike was registered to narrow it down

[stusco]

Thats what i found they are building the forth road bridge in the background,
I thought maybe someone with classic car/ bike knowledge would know how to work out the year
He only had it a couple of months before getting taken out by a jag

here's something worth having a look at.. www.theforthbridges.org/forth-road-bridge/history/

is that the South Viaduct? might give you a better chance of narrowing down a date.. between 1960 and 63 probably

When registrations were introduced in 1903, and before the suffix format came into effect in 1963, they had no discernable year identifying letters or digits on them. With a registration like this it's impossible to tell (without insider knowledge) how old the vehicle displaying it is.

So its before 1963, 1963 was an A reg in the format we all know, ie A123ABC, I did find something that said first registered in Edinburgh regarchive.com/oldplate/platedetails

May help if you know the exact model.

My dad thinks it was 61 but wasn’t sure so sounds about right
