[Tigers] Tiger Magazine Article

[Owain Lloyd]

i think thats the key point.  other the first prototype (well, second
prototype) no tiger went anywhere near the shelby factory.  its the
same reason that a used and hammered gt-h mustang (the hertz model)
sells for $60k when you can buy the same car, new, from ford for about
$30k.

looks are subjective of course but i think its very good looking
(particularly with a series i - iii alpine grill in it!).
