New guy intro

It never ceases to amaze me how many unused Tigers are tucked away here and there.
What happens in the late 70s and early 80s to make them fall out of favour?

It's a nice colour and doesn't seem to be in bad a condition so hopefully sorting it out won't cost too much.
It would be a tragedy if you had to sell the Big Healey.

Keep the pics coming.

Wilbur Bud,
Man finding a barn find with a paint job like that is priceless. Gold painted rims to match the pin striping and white letter tyres

I hope that buffs up nicely. It's like a step back in time of what we used to do.
Perhaps keep it like that for a little while. The bell bottom jeans tight T shirts and medelons are going to be hard to find though

.
Thanks for sharing your find and good luck with it.
Cheers Mal

That is a find and a half

. I'm not sure about the detailing, but the car looks complete and a restorers delight. Hopefully Wilbur will hang on to it so that we can see it back to its former glory (before the detailing

)

Regards, Robin.

....you won't like it Wilbur one bit, best send it my way and I'll look after it - I'll pay the shipping

Great find!!
