Someone asked a few weeks ago about the paint scheme on the works Tigers.
Speedvision, yesterday, showed the '65 Alpine rally on their Legends of
Motorsports show. I taped it and watched it tonight. It was taken by
Standard Triumph and has lots of Spitfire Coupes and 2000s of course, but
there were four shots of Peter Harper's Tiger ADU 312B. One was at a
control, one behind Rosemary Smith's Imp, one as it passed the camera car
going into Monte Carlo and one at the finish as it was DSQ'd. As expected
the car was red with a white hardtop. A fascinating picture of the Tiger
and it's contemporary competitors - catch it if you can.
