The Transport Museum in Coventry must have changed considerably from when I
visited in 1999. There was a whole row dedicated to Rootes. No Tigers, but
they did have Rosemary Smith's rallye Alpine.
It was home to the handwritten Jensen ledger with all the Tiger numbers. I
couldn't see the book due to some recent damage to the records room and some
accompanying asbestos exposure. But they did send me a letter with all the
numbers for mine (B9473298).

Thanks to everyone that replied with suggestions about my trip. Because our
schedule kept changing the only car related thing we go to do was visit the
Transport Museum in Coventry (http://www.transport-museum.com/). It doesn't
really have anything about Rootes or Sunbeam but it is a great museum.
Admission is free and I guess I was expecting a jumble of cars in an old
warehouse or something. But this place is very nice and presents the cars
(and bicycles and motorcycles) in displays that reflect what was going on in
their eras. In another area they have a selection of race cars from F1 to
rally. It's a great way to spend an afternoon and you get to see a lot of
beautiful countryside getting there.
