[Tigers] Tiger Magazine Article

[Owain Lloyd]

yes, this is definately a matter of taste.  i don't find e-types or
mg's attractive in the slightest.  american muscle has limited
interest to me, but cobras and astons are drop dead gorgous.

it probably doesn't help that there are not that many tigers.  too
many to be rare but not enough to be well known.

However, when I bring it to the local LBC events, it gets a lot of attention from fellow Triumph, MG, Healey and Lotus people.
