Without doubt the biggest export market for the Tiger Cub and Terrier was the United States of America, but what may be surprising to some is that the second biggest market was Pakistan; and there is still an extremely enthusiastic following for these machines there with many still in use by dedicated owners.
One such owner is Mashooq Hussain Bughio, who owns this splendid looking Tiger Cub.
It was purchased by Mashooq's maternal uncle from its first owner in 1964, and 35 years later became Mashooq's to own. Since then he has fastidiously rebuilt it every five years. Not only that, many people in Pakistan know him as a specialist in these machines as he has manufactured parts that were unobtainable there such as contact breaker points, brake and tail lights, Nacelle side flashes, silencers, clutch plates and other more minor things along with developing a number of parts not only for his own Tiger Cub but to help other owners to rebuild, restore and keep their machines on the road too.
