Out now and a recommended read 8)

A very well written and correct piece, but I always thought it was more romantic that it was Lord Rootes who came up with the name "Tiger" after his inaugural first drive in Coventry with the Shelby prototype. :D

About 6yrs ago there was a nice write up in a british mag called Resto Cars. But don't know what happened to it since we moved a couple of times.
Don't know if any of you guys might have a way to look it up, so I could get a copy of it 8)

Was that the article with the 2 modified tigers, a yellow and a blue one?

Can but underscore Tony's comment about the Classic Cars Tiger article - first rate!

This must be the Retro mag Twin Turbo Tiger is asking after:

I recall this yellow machine was owned by Allen Bedford and then went to someone in Hampshire; a scaffolder who came to an untimely end I am told but where is this Tiger now?

March 2005 to be exact Jerry, I have my copy and if you would like I'll send it to you, just send me your address via pm :D

It was before your "turbo (x2)" conversion Image

Have been a few Tigers covered in Retro over the years. In March 2009 Patrick Watts rally car had excellent coverage and from memory I think our "BigBob" had his supercharger conversion reviewed :shock:
