    Hullo. I've owned a non-running, but otherwise complete 1961 Tiger Cub T20SL ("Sports Roadster") for many years. Now retired, I have (in theory, at least!) enough spare time to put it on the road. I expect this will take several years of on-and-off tinkering, so signing up to the Forum before I begin strikes me as a very wise move.

    I'm currently attempting to choose a suitable stand/lift for a garage with very limited elbow-room - recommendations or suggestions would be most welcome. Thank you.

    I'm really looking forward to interacting with this friendly community over the coming months, and I tip my hat to the admin. team for making this marvellous resource available to mere mortals.


    Wassail!

    Thanks, Dilligaf. I just hope the Cub shows me due respect in our dealings, being senior to it by eight years eleven months (going by the factory despatch date)!

    Welcome in, Nanty! I am sure, you‘ll find plenty of advise from all the friendly mates on here!

    And there is no doubt, you could be restoring some 1961 tits and would find someone to help you out...
    Oh, wait! I didn‘t take my meds... :scream:

    Forget the last thing I said.
    No not that one. The one before!

    Anyway: ENJOY :p

    I'm pretty sure there was/is someone on here that was/is doing a restoration job on a Cub.
    Or perhaps I imagined it:confused: - Nursey hasn't been round with my meds yet!:eek::worried:
