1964 TRIUMPH TINA SCOOTER
Shown here are two photos of the Tina Scooter, pro-
duced by Triumph Engineering of Coventry, England.
According to Denis McCormack, President of The Tri-
umph Corporation, Towson, Baltimore, Maryland, this
scooter is gaining in popularity, and many dealers are doing
an exceptional!}' good job of merchandising them.
The Tina is a practical, durable and economical unit
without frills or unnecessary “gadgets.” It has a fully auto-
matic variable speed drive and is one of the easiest scooters
manufactured today for the beginner or the experienced
rider to operate.
