Anyone who wants any kind of car with SU carburetors is more than welcome to
same -- in fact, I wish it on them.
My $0.02 --- Tony the former Triumph owner (traded it on my Tiger back in
'66 --- :-)))))) -- and that's a HUGE grin!

Subject: Re: Tiger Prices
Tom, I mentioned that Car and Driver did a TV piece on the Tiger several
months ago, and NADA. Ho Hum, I guess some just don't care.
My Tiger has roll up windows, and power to blow the doors off a TR, MG,
and I can fix it cheap.
So there!
If you think its worth $16K sell it. But the community has to evaluate
the car, and make up their own minds.
