When Rootes proposed to build the Tiger, they arranged for the build of =
two prototypes; a well-funded one by Shelby and a bargain basement one =
by Ken Miles.  Shelby wanted to land the contract to build the cars in =
the US, but Rootes decided to build the cars at the Jensen factory at =
West Bromwich and pay a royalty to Shelby for each car built.  Tigers =
seem to be ahead of the market in appreciation due to the Shelby =
connection in the development and Shelby's passing.  Prices have risen =
quite steeply over the last few years. =20

I seem to remember that Shelby did a one of conversion of the Sunbeam =
Alpine. This conversion was then again modified by Jensen who also =
performed the final conversion/building of the car.
