Hi Jay,

I had suggested Jim contact you due to my correspondence with Steve, the
photo he sent was from the saoca site not from his car.

In my backup hdds somewhere i am confident i have pictures of 2 of the
mystery clocks..  Sadly those drives are a long way from my reach currently.

I do not think early tigers used white hands as rootes had phased those out
during series 3 production.

If anyone has a copy of the alpine/tiger gold portfolio roadtest book handy
look at the tiger road test articles. IIRC the early tiger usa test cars
were black dash and blanking plates.. So probably need to look at the early
UK tests.

MK
