Re: Reshelling

Just a mute point on the TAC system. I am one of the 10 people in the UK who have their car "TACED" by Norman Miller. Now, Norman has neither been in the UK to inspect my car, nor have I been the USA. So where do we stand here? Rob Last time I checked there were eleven UK Tigers carrying "TAC" stic...

...snip snip...A few cars have had their T.A.C. certification revoked, probably less than a handful. This is to be compared with the latest count of around 870 Tigers that have been authenticated by the T.A.C. programme. Using the current surviving Tiger count of 3926 that makes 22% that have been ...

Re: Chinese Tiger???????????

I just had a look at this Chinese Tiger. :wink: :D It's probably the only rally car I've seen with an ashtray. It was obviously a more leisurely sport back then. :D Also, am I terribly confused or is the throttle pedal on the wrong side? As for the price...... :shock: I need to find some racing his...

B382002380 HROFE - JUL 390D

Dean,

If you haven't seen it, check out my story on B382100406 HROFE - NYL 556E. Even though it's a MK II, odds are the interior layout will be very close to what was done with the '66 cars.

GEARBOX IDENT

Brian,
Not to worry. The ledgers are reporting two different Tigers with the same gearbox assignment. That simply can't be, so when I get the chance it's worth asking.

Thanks for the extra effort.

THINKING PINK

If I can trust the various details supplied to the "Registry" by the current owner, the "Playboy" Tiger (B9470457 LRXFE) was originally "Moonstone".
The car is currently located in Surrey, British Columbia, painted Red.

Hello Brian, Any chance I could get you to help clear up a point of confusion in the Jensen ledgers concering the gearbox assignment for your car? There are two Tigers reported with the same number, so I was hoping you could confirm what is stamped on the metal tag rivetted to the right side of the ...
