Andy, Steve, et al,
Additional Tiger models not mentioned are a 1/32 scale plastic kit by
Aurora, part # 601-50 (I think that last number was the price), which today
is pretty hard to find. Currently available is a British-made 1/43 resin
kit of a Rootes rally Tiger, complete with a Minilite spare on the boot and
decals for reg. no. ADU 312 B.
I think the finest Tiger model of all is the one imported from England by
long-time Tiger owner and friend, Wally Swift. These beautiful 1/43 scale
die-cast cars are available as either a MK I or a MK II, come in several
authentic Rootes colors, with or without a removable hardtop, and with
stock or aftermarket wheels. These are still available from Wally, and
while I'm not sure of the cost, I think it's around $150. I don't think
that Wally is on the internet; I'm checking on that. In the meantime, he
can be contacted at:
