Hi,i did have a look at the Tiger.I am not an expert but this is what i found.The running gear seemed well maintained,no leaks or smoking.The gearbox seemed a little noisy.The interior was a litle tired but seemed original.Underneath seemed to be in good condition.
Bad points ,rear of left sill bubbling badly,paintwork quite poor(cracking on rear and bootlid.Possible worn 1st gear .Passenger door window frame loose,both window regulators need replacing.
Generally an honest car
I was disapointed at how it was presented,ie glove box came away in my hand,gear knob falling apart and buzzing ,hard top front clip screws missing and bouncing up and down on the road test and finally passenger window nearly falling out.All these things aren't major problems but didn't inspire confidence in the rest of the car as the vendor hadn't bothered to even find some screws
There was no negotiation on the price so i will keep looking at the momment.Please note i don't pretend to be an expert.
regards Chris
