Interesting you should pose that question.
I had both for awhile and ended up selling the stock one because after the
modified one, the stock one became uninspiring to drive. And I guess for me,
the performance was more important than original hose clamps.
I purchased my first Tiger in 1973 before they really became recognized as
collectables. It had been thoroughly trashed and I believe may have ended up
in the crusher if I had not rescued it.
It was easier and less expensive back then to modify it than it was to
restore it. Anyway, it has been the most fun toy I have ever owned.
I just got home from Florida where I looked at the 3 Tigers in the Mecum
auction and was rather surprised to see the money the 2 commanded.
The unsold 427 car obviously had some high dollar work on it but I was
surprised to see the steering rack still mounted way out front of the pulley
assembly.
While in Florida we were also able to connect with Steve Halbrook and spent
a very enjoyable evening with some other owners talking Tiger at an
impromptu dinner. Thanks Steve, we had a good time.
Now back home in the great white north of Idaho and Spring seems a long ways
away.
