Hardtop

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 ...

Goodwood Revival 2008

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...

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...

Tiger Build Specs

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 ...

Goodwood Breakfast Club - Soft Top Sunday

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?

Wheel Types

Derek. As said before wire wheels plus knock ons were never offerred as a factory option since the 13" Alpine wheel simply shredded its spokes. If you go to www.sunbeamtiger.co.uk/pictures/scans/B9470010_AF.jpg you will see one of the 'AF' development cars at Jensen sporting wire wheels. This shot w...
