More of a question. I just posted on 'Where are they now' a couple of pics from 1967 of a UK registered export Tiger that was rallied/raced in Spain for a while.
It is possible the car has some 'works' association.

Anyone seen top bonnet vents like those on this Tiger?

Interesting enlargement of rear wheel arches too.

I would think the vent openings are channeld out from the base of the windscreen away from the high pressure zone caused by the windscreen which would negate the efficiency of the vents at speed.
