Per,
Sorry to hear of your mishap. As to what might have happened, I refer
all to the 27 page report on the Le Mans Lister Tiger, ADU 108B, as
related by Darrell Mountjoy in TigersUnited.com Article. The
appropriate page is:

but I suggest a strong aperitif before viewing. Think of it this way,
it might not be this bad.
