Mal.
Sorry to see your post about the ignition problems you having with your new Tiger. Sadly I cannot add much more to what you have done but hopefully my posting this message will prompt wiser members than I to get onto your case.

Come on STOC let's get some advice to Mal.

Nigel and mate Adrian did manage another great promotion stunt for the Tiger. "The Promise" video can be seen on the 4Music freeview channel and at Youtube. Look out for the white machine with Shelby stripes. The vid opens with an Alpine but with a Tiger rumble sound track! A bunch of stills can vie...

Maybe you saw the one just sold on eBay for £68. The vendor's description was questionable (best seen in the UK) but a steal providing all the parts claimed to be present were with it; bits of the stainless trim can cost more. All depends on how much work you can do, what you have to start with and ...

Michael You can find the RAC 'TT' race results and lap analysis here: http://www.goodwood.co.uk/Site/Content/Revival/Archive-2008-Review.aspx Tony Eckford (owner) started the race and turned in 1min 41s+ laps but Tony would be the first to admit he is not a big league racer (rallying used to be his ...

Interesting photographs Michael. They certainly show a number of the 'contenders' in the "TT". The Tiger did a dozen or more laps in the hands of Vern Schuppan. Here is a description of most of the other VIP drivers: http://www.goodwood.co.uk/site/content/revival/News.aspx?CCID=a5975794-ba0b-43b0-ad...

Hi Steve In Feb 1966 Rootes would deliver a US specifications (LRX FE) Tiger on a 'straight sales' basis to customers who were "Foreign Governement Employees" (that included US Forces in Europe) at a price of US$3024 for collection in London and eventual export to North America or Canada. For collec...

Malcolm. All the small ads in STOC's Classifieds pages are current and the cars listed for sale are FOR SALE. Cars that have been sold are marked 'sold' and are left on the page for a couple of months to show our members and browsers alike what has gone through the market recently. I hope this is he...

STOC has a copy of the Jensen Motors production ledgers and these show your Tiger was built on the 6th March 1965, making it a fairly early home market (HRO) Tiger. The Club doesn't have any information on the original registration number of your Tiger but the DVLA does. I don't have the right link ...

Hi Harry

I shall be there in my MKII but as I am a fair bit closer to Goodwood than you - I'll see you there.
Anyone else up for a sharp Tigering start on Sunday morning?
Cheers
