HI guys, Here is a new video! I think the sound comes through much more effectively. The alloys are indeed Dunlop d1s. I love the centercaps with the Sunbeam seal. Most unfortunately I have lost one and have yet to find a replacement. Enjoy the video! Hans http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYyXgK_P1Gs

Michael, The car has the original headers placed back in 80-81 when the 289 was put in the car. No resonator, thus straight pipes except for the Delta Flows. Exhaust is 2in. I almost decided to replace the entire system with a a 2.25 system with inserts instead of a muffler, but these flowmasters ar...

Robin, They are the Delta Flows and they are superb. Resonance definitely not an issue. I cannot recommend them enough as they have completely transformed my driving experience. I feel that the Tiger could quite nicely substitute for Mcqueen's 390 gt fastback in Bullitt with the new soundtrack. Here...

Hi guys, I have just returned from picking up the Tiger with the new 40 series Flowmasters fitted and the sound is simply stunning. The car sounds fantastic and it has made the entire driving experience superlative. I could not recommend these mufflers enough. They are certainly loud, but if one is ...

I bought them from Moss Motors I believe or perhaps Victoria British. I can check and get back to you Martin. They are of quite nice quality.

Excellent point on the semantic angle Martin:) As the paint is original it certainly possesses decided patina especially up close, but it gives the car such wonderful character. In both Connecticut and New York State one must possess both front and rear license plates, which unlike the wonderful one...

Hello Martin, Many thanks for your kind works about the car. I do not believe they are the original springs. The original 260 was removed in 1980 and replaced with a completely rebuilt 289 at which time I believe the springs were changed. Its such a marvelous car to drive and my absolute favorite. G...

Hi guys, Here are a few more. The radio is an original Sunbeam model. It does'nt work at the moment, but its a nice piece to have all the same as it adds wonderfully to the interior. The steering wheel and dash have cracks, but I shall not change anything in the interior. Hope you like the car. The ...

Hello gentleman, I have just joined this truly wonderful site. I currently own a 1966 MK1A Tiger that I purchased approximately two years ago. The car has never been restored and still maintains its original midnight blue paint as well as its body coloured hardtop and original interior. Most unfortu...
