Aston Club Racing Intermarque is indeed the predominant race outlet for Tigers in the UK; this year the Sunbeam Challenge will also be at the Donington ACR round on 7th June, so that's the meeting to aim for! Andy Yates' Tiger can also be seen in CSCC Swinging Sixties: http://www.classicsportscarclu...

Further bulletins will emerge soon about the Monte 50 in September but here is one topic which will require inputs from those of you more experienced in long Tiger journeys. Plan A, there will be a modern spares barge / mobile tool shed following us, crewed by Andy Carter and Graham Rood. This will ...

Anyone done a cost and performance comparison of the various solutions ? I don't want to be scrambling to do this last minute, and while I've got half the carpet up to fit the MX5 seats, might as well tackle heat insulation. Any recommendations on the easiest way to remove the original horsehair / t...

Team Tiger enjoyed themselves on Saturday. Sunbeam Challenge qualifying was mixed with ACs and Morgans, making for a very busy session on a very slippery surface following on from the pre-war cars. Our section was amalgamated with some reserves and Dave Smallridge was narrowly pipped to pole by a mo...

Apparently the weather and track conditions made it quite slippery but Bill Smallridge again came a superb 1st overall in Intermarque, with Tristan claiming a Class A win, 15th out of 19 finishers.

Hoping to see more Tigers at the next outing, Donington June 1st!

Welcome Tim, and great to hear of your plans to increase the UK Tiger racing population. 2014 50th Anniversary Sunbeam Challenge is a must! FIA App K would indeed be an expensive option to reach the standard necessary to compete on level ground with other cars, Tiger FIA papers don't seem to have th...

I had Quickfit of Stanmore fit a pair of their standard inertia reels in my Mk1 some years ago, nothing custom needed. The pivot point of the main hood bin is well forward so the bin lifts upwards. Plenty of room for the reels. For safety reasons it is preferable to have the belt behind your shoulde...

Absolute domination by the Smallridge family gave the Tiger a win from pole position, lapping the entire field, great work. Tristan also did well against strong opposition, 11th overall and 2nd in class to Aston Martin DP214 which is not exactly a production car... Results here: http://www.tsl-timin...

AMOC Intermarque Silverstone 6th April 2013

First outing for AMOC this year is at Silverstone on 6th April. Tristan will be there hoping for a class win (against AM DP214 no less!), as will David and Bill Smallridge looking for an outright win. 24 starters so should be a busy race. I will be there with the Austin in HRDC, and the Le Mans Alpi...

I raced my car for a while with a steel bonnet remodelled with the scoop and vents, think that is the LAT79 one? Proof of its cooling efficiency was the fact that the vents were too hot to touch after a race. The rest of the bonnet would be merely warm. I still have it if someone wants to buy it. My...
