Indeed, and if you find a LHD one - put my name on it.

My MG rack made in 'Hungary' seems to be holding out ..... for now :D

a new MG Midget rack.....developed a lot of play at the non-pinion end, obviously poor machining of the bush at the LH end and also the makers in Argentina did not faithfully copy the original 1960's unit. They left out the LH end piston/spring assembly which stops the rack from walking or chatteri...

I understand that they still use the Corsa power steering unit and that they cut your Tiger column. Why don't you contact Jim Oven in Monmouth (JO Engineering). His units are much cheaper and use a shortened Alpine column, you get to keep the Tiger unit in case one day you want to change it back. H...

Sunbeam Tiger 1926 Land Speed Record

'Lifted' off the web last few days; It is hoped that the four-litre Sunbeam Tiger Ladybird car in which Segrave achieved the record in 1926 will be among the historic cars taking part in the 90th anniversary celebrations at the Merseyside resort on 16 March 2016. Built for Major Henry Segrave to att...

Sleath is indeed your man. He recommended a great roller cam setup for my build. He leans towards Comp Cams as being reliable and from my experience, bloody good value :D Managed another 30hp top end whilst increasing torques lower end = win, win! Thanks Mal, so far that's 2 voting in favour of roll...

Same happened to me Martin, just before the trip to Cannes last year and thankfully it failed on me on the drive at home. Didn't know what to do at first, as was tempted as an emergency repair to just drill right through the hinge and fit a bolt all the way through but that would have been an ugly s...

Not one for normally commenting on 'sales' posts but I have to say that is one beautiful Tiger, and looks well sorted by its long term owner.

If I didn't already own a Tiger (or two) I'd be all over this.

Great colour, sure it won't hang about as it's realistically priced. :mrgreen:
