Jim, those are certainly great things to have obtained, particularly in great
condition. While all likely is well with all of this, I personally would be a
little extra careful about my car's safety for a while. I am normally not much
of a cynic, but a little voice is telling me one should be a little wary of
strangers that have always wanted a Tiger and are bearing gifts to where they
now know one lives.
Cheers, Gene

Subject: Re: [Tigers] paint code 19
I recently was given a Sunbeam price list from 1965.
I had my Tiger at a car show on Monday in downtown Fredericksburg, VA (I
know, a British car on Independence Day!) and a guy walks up and we start
talking about Tigers. B He's always wanted one, but no luck. B He tells me
that he has some Sunbeam documentation and that a "real Tiger owner" should
have it. B So I gave him my address and thought no more about it. B Wednesday
morning he dropped off the package while I was at work. B OMG! B Inside a
Sunbeam Manilla mail folder (with $0.12 postage!) is a spotless 1965 color
Tiger tri-fold, a Sunbeam Competition and Performance Parts bi-fold, a
Sunbeam price sheet, a 4 page color folder of Sunbeam optional
accessories, a "Tale of the Tiger," and B reprints (by Sunbeam) of Tiger
reviews from various magazines!
The guy called me to make sure that I got it and I thanked him profusely.
Keep on Tigering!
