Worst Tiger
ebay tiger
it does have some race history,stoc has photos of it being raced at silverstone
Sad to think that this rotten remain has some race history, how could it have possibly got this bad? Where has it been?
I have studied the photo's of this car on ebay and it really is sad, it's back is broken and any steel is now pure corroded rust.
No doubt someone will save it, Alger or not a rust free shell will save this car.
I'd take it on but iv'e enough on my plate.
Would be good to see some pic's from the STOC archive if there are any??

Starts to make sense. Wish I had the space to take it on.

I've seen that shell, and it's a nice one. As you say Bob, shame about the lack of space. And time. And money...bigbob wrote:Starts to make sense. Wish I had the space to take it on.

rusted remains
I'm like a kid in a sweet shop
Ebay item 170726237479, i bought this shell for the 100% rust free panels that are on it for £50 but in reallity it's way too good to dismantle.
Maybe at the time there was another reason that i wasn't aware of.
All Tiger's derived from Alpine's...
This shell is still as is and is available to the buyer of the "WORST TIGER"
Send me an IM and i will gladly do what i can to help out.

I can't locate right now the subsequent article I wrote about Theo but here she is in action with B9473290 HRO giving GEL 264D its "15 minutes of fame".
With thanks to Martin Pester (STOC Archivist) for surfacing the first photo and to Nigel Tipping for tracking down Theo's family back then.

Hello
I cant actually believe that there is so much interest in this car. The car belongs to my Father, who has had it for many many years, as you can tell.
I would like to obtain the photo of the car racing at Silverstone to give to my Father as a memory. Can someone please help
Thanks very much

Hi Graham,
If you could post the article, I'd be interested in reading it. How long was her racing career? Judging by your '15 minutes of fame' comment, it wasn't too long or was it just referring to her time in the Tiger? In you link, did she wear those shoes while racing?
Regards, Robin.
