The Cobra, prior to the 427, was little more than an ancient AC Ace from the hanging-by-the-skin-of-it's-teeth AC Cars, with an already obsolete Ford 221cid V8, then the obsolete 260, then finally th

Everybody keeps referring to the 260 as obsolete. It wasn't at the time, it was part of a rapidly expanding engine line representing a new concept of engines. But then again I still like the obsolete

All of this talk on the topic of the Shelby connection to the Tiger is interesting. I find it counterproductive in that if the Tiger reaches the value of Shelby Fords and Cobras I will no longer enjo

When my car becomes "too expensive to dive", I just look at that new Ford GT, and it's comparatively lower cost to "furrin' imports". I would still like to own it. It isn't the cost of a car that wo

Couldn't disagree more. If you are afraid to drive it because the value goes up then sell it. The Tiger is meant to be driven, that is the true value of any car, plane or boat. My grandfather told me

Not afraid to drive mine. However, one of the things I liked when I acquired my Tiger in 1985 was the people who owned them. Went to the Indy race grounds for the Sunbean United in 85 and discovered

Gary, I think you make a good point. Most of the Cobras do not get driven, not necessarily because their owners would not like to drive them, but because the cost of insurance for road use is prohibi

"Shelby wanted to race, and sold cars on the side so he could race more. Rootes wanted to sell cars, and raced on the side so he could sell more." The title of "poor man's Cobra" applies to the Tiger

My only disagreement is with Graham's comment of the Tiger's "achieving its potential" only with modifications to push it beyond 164 bhp. By design (worsened by the Tiger's steering configuration), t

Steve is correct and to those who just don't know. In 1965 three Tigers came in third in their respective divisions of SCCA B Produciton, Pacific, Mid Ohio and Central Florida. The Hollywood car won

I agree with Bill. A Tiger, from the factory, may be an evil bit of kit, but with some thoughtful (sometimes even legal...) modifications can be made to go very quickly. Look to current vintage race
