Paul, it sounds like you and Roy had a nice visit. Nick and I ran into him
in at the St. Armands show in November. He is certainly an interesting
gentleman to talk to. Nick put him in touch with Norm to round out some
history on our cars. It is great to have him in Florida and still
interested in his work from so long ago. Robin Young
This past weekend I took one of my Tigers to antique car show in Naples,
Florida. An elderly English gentleman walked up to me and introduced
himself as Roy Axe. He told me he was the Design Director at The Rootes
Group during the time the Tiger was conceived. In doing some research I
found out that he was at Rootes from 1959 to 1982 and was the chief stylist
and the finally the design director. He said he was basically a "runner"
when he started but did participate with two other gentleman in design or
our cars.
It was great to have an opportunity to talk with Mr. Axe and have him
remark how looking at the Tiger brought back some fine memories. You never
know who may show up at one of these events.
