Jim,

Don't know about "all" Tigers, but my early MkI has both C and F on the
temperature gauge, with the F numbers larger.(BTW:212F=100C). The speedo
is "double-calibrated as well, in both bold MPH and smaller
Kilometer/hr. RPM is, of course, universal. This is usual British
practice, so that they can sell the same car around the world. Wasn't so
in the 50's. The home and US export MG's and Jag's had MPH only, while
the Euro versions had Kilo only. Same with temps. Porsches of the late
50's had both, but the Kilo were the predominant type face for Europe.
