Nice brace of Tiger media articles coming up soon.
First out of the trap is 'Classics Monthly' March 2011 issue. 5 page feature on the restoration of STOC Soc Sec's - Dave Puzey's Tiger



Then we can look forward to a leading feature article of 7 pages in 'Classic Cars' May issue (out very late March).
A history recap that displays two splendid Tigers - a MKI and MKII with many great shots of the cars on Pevensey Beach and South Downs.



What's your favourite paint code......?

Commodore Blue !!! John's Mk11 still looks the bees knees, I remember it well from the 80's, and have many period pics of it with my first Mk 1.

39

code 100 is the best , the other 7000 were painted red

Thanks for the heads up graham, the CC article looks to have some great photos.. thats frameable! Nice to see some decent Tiger articles headed our way!

Definitely will be on the look out for those mags. I think our Aussie classic cars mag needs to do another Tiger article too. Thanks for the notification.

Regards, Robin.

I do like the two blues.

I think Forest Green was a very popular Tiger colour back in the day Paul. The 2 cars I have owned were both green originally but I painted my mk1a Rootes Terquoise Blue Metallic!

I am trying hard to like the green and may paint my current car in it? Lots of cars out there started life as colour 86 but not any more

Hi

The green ones dont do much for me if i could have any colour it would be the black , like red but must ones are red the sky blue colour is nice to thats it

cheers paul

Graham - just to mention that Octane's web site has a short article/endorsement on the qualities of the Tiger - "Classic Choices: affordable roadsters" - you may need to register on the site to have a look but the link is below case of need:

Happy Tigering

I know it's very much "off topic" but having remembered this discussion over favourite colours, I came across this beauty on the Swiss Owners Club website;



Must say, I do like it - very retro.

And the best looking wheels for a Tiger

Purple one behind looks cool

#1 did'nt know the paint code numbers untill few years after I had it painted the green that it is now
