Hi All:
Talking of survivors . . . I have been privileged to see a survivor TIGER
that has less than 10,000 miles on it. The owner bought it new, drove it for
one summer and then parked it in his dads garage while he went to Europe for
a year. He got married there and never returned for 20 years. When he came
back he took over his dads house and just left the car in the corner of the
garage. It is a MK1 (plastic dash) time machine. The paint has not burned off
of the exhaust all the way back to the mufflers. I asked if I could open the
trunk and he said: Sure . . . it has not been opened since the 1960s.
Incredible! He does start the car from time to time and drive it up and down
the driveway. He has little interest in the TIGER except that it was his first
new car. It is not for sale and in order to see it I was required to give my
word that I would not reveal where it is located and could not take pictures.
There are sure some strange ducks in the pond!
I left my card in the glove cubby with the note: Call me before you sell
just in case.
Godspeed in Safety Fast
Jc
