Too late friend...

Yeah, the Tiger's a pretty nifty ride...

260 cu in Ford V8 under the hood. So it was a mover and a shaker in its day. Nice lookin' too as it was a brit car with 'mericun iron driving the wheels.

Still, it's not _that_ impressive from a performance viewpoint. Still saddled with a rigid rear axle, and for all it's weight (2500 lbs) had only 160-170 horsepower.

Makes for a great vintage race car though!!!
