I've just aquired a barn find very early protype Tiger. There is no JAL number so must be Ex-Rootes. Production model shows a few changes..

The zero emission power was deleted as too far ahead of its time
4th wheel added for extra stability.
Large boot retained.
Open air experience kept.

I see the brakes were never developed.

Yeah, I read a Rootes Experimental Dept report somewhere that said they couldn't make disc brakes work on 3 wheels!!
