 Theo,
I have an original Tiger that I have put effort into keeping it so. The 
suspension and brakes are original design but refreshed and quite safe. The 
power output is unmodified. The only part of the car that concerns me is the 
wiring harness. I keep an eye on it and keep it secure but age takes it's 
toll. Regards,  Gary B9472283
