Yes , this is my Tiger. I have had it for the past 4 years, and have just about got everthing that the car had back in the 60`s.The photo shoot took place in Somerset back last September with Neil Revingtons TR4 and the Goodwood MGA course car on an old airstrip.

Bloody hell, it was bad enough riding in Deans. I tend to be a bit more sedate these days ,I just love it with the top down and listening to that lovely V8.

Is that to be a driver or a racer?

Who's doing the work, you or a specialist?

Thanks for the heads up Rob. The Tiger seems to be attracting a bit of press lately which is great.
