Post by JAYANDSHEL » Sun Mar 15, 2009 7:43 pm

What a lovely day it was today. We drove to northweald today with roof down and loved it, watched sprinting run by Bourgh 19 motor club so wanted to take tiger out and join in. Did any one else do the same today. love to hear from you all. :lol:

Nice to hear you are out and about enjoying the weather in your Tiger. I have still a few things to sort out in mine before I can use it. I need a good mechanic to help sort it.

Sun 22 March
Another fine day for topless driving, found a miget and sprite meeting at wrotham hill so went along to see whats what.
Nice collection of migets and sprites some very original and some very modified and some inbetween had an orange juice and a chat was told the tiger sounded fantasic when I pulled in :) very friendly bunch. While we were parked up a volvo |Amerson on a trailer went passed and stopped and came back and dropped of a flyer for the Regis CLassic Tour
an event taking place 27 28 29 March anyone doing this? bit late notice for us but maybe next year?
Love to hear what you did today

not sure its warm enough for 'topless' driving yet :) but i've certainly been out and about a fair bit the last week with the soft top down, enjoying the lovely weather.

finally got my 'works tribute' numberplate fitted too:

Hi Owain

Interesting seeing the ADU plate on your Tiger. As you may know it is the 2nd and 3rd alpha that denoted the registration area; in this case Coventry Council. Other alphas used by Coventry up to 1974 include: KV, RW, HP, VC and WK. Tigers bearing ADU include: the rally cars ADU 311B & ADU 312B and experimental cars ADU 309B and ADU 638B. I understand Coventry still hold the original registration ledgers.

yes, also the le mans cars (ADU 179B / ADU180B)

i bought the plate off dvla as the one assigned when i imported the car was ugly (NEG). had to wait over a year for them to auction it off after i requested it, but needless to say, i was the only bidder!

i picked 302E because i have a 302 engine in there and since it was first registered in '67, i was able to go up as far as E which is obviously fairly unusual for a non MKII.

i toyed with getting ADU 181B or something too. :)
