Martin. I've now heard which Tigers will be gracing the STOC stand. The important ones are:

- AHP 294B: The ex-works rally machine. See article in Cats Whiskers 95
- EHP 170C: The MKII automatic prototype, which appeared last year as apainted shell and is now revealed as the finished item. This Tiger was the personal transport of Baron Geoffrey Rootes.
There is one other car which I am awaiting details of.

Think you'll find that the support team will be the usual crop of suspects!!

Hi Graham, do you know where the auto conversion was done?

Bill. The work was done by Jensens.

Rootes ordered the 6bolt 289 + C4 3 spd auto box from Ford as a one off. Jensens modified the shell and fitted it all in early '65.
