Thanks, John! But the car you refer to is the Alpine 74. I'm looking for
the Tiger 74. If you read around on Steve's web page there is some
information about it. Also, a race review of the Tiger 74's first
appearance (and a second place) at VIR can be read at:

I've tried mailing Steve to ask him what he knows of the Tiger, but the
e-mail addy on his web page gets bumped back to me. If anyone knows his
current e-mail addy, please send to me off-line.
Thanks, and I look forward to the article in GRM. Notice, John, that our
cars were within spitting distance of each other at birth.

Chris:
The Sports Car Forum car is now owned by Steve Silverstein in Mass.
It's a well-documented (and well preserved) car, and I interviewed Don
Sessler and Dan Carmichael (both drove the car) and wrote an article that
was published in Grassroots Motorsports in March 2002. At the Sunbeam
Invasion in Dayton (2001) Don was re-united with the car for the first time
in more than 30 years.
You'll find some info about it and other racing Alpines on Steve's Alpine
site: www.racingalpines.org
Look for another article I wrote for GRM on the Tara Florio Tiger now
owned by Dave McDermott. AHP483B was a works car that competed in the 1964
RAC Rally and the Targa Florio in 1965 -- the only Rootes Group Works Tiger
that ever finished an international race.This article will appear in a
couple of months.
