The recent discussion of body colors prompted me to dig out Issue #8 
of Tiger Press, published by Norman Miller. This issue included an 
article titled "Color by Numbers," which chronicled Tiger paint 
colors as recorded in TIROST (Norm's Tiger registry.) Data in the 
article was sorted in a variety of interesting ways, including this 
summary of all known Tiger colors:

102  Oxford Blue                      0           0          0          0
106  Commodore Blue            0           11        42        53
107  Holly Green                      0            0          0          0
108  Polar White                      3           13       24        40

130  Gunmetal Metallic 0          0          0          0          0

When Colors by Numbers was published in 2000, 3396 of the total of 
7085 Tigers produced were registered with TIROST. Today that number 
has swollen to 3819. That's pretty amazing, considering the cars are 
now more than 40 years old!
