[Tigers] Mid West Mustangers car show

[Teepen, Jere]

No one has mentioned that the SAAC is inclusive of the Sunbeam Tiger in all of
their events.  It may not be a Shelby generated vehicle, but it is a sort of
step child, and thus accepted at the family reunions.

Carroll was also paid a royalty for every Tiger sold.



I am not a Shelby want to be by any stretch.

Sorry Duke,



i have to side with the guys who said "no" to having you in the Shelby
class.. same issue i have with people putting "Shelby" on their parts on
ebay.. he was involved in the prototype and in an early racing example... he
doesn't really have much to do with the production cars and pushing the
point makes you look like a Shelby want to be... enjoy the car for what it
is,, not some tenuous link to some guy who hot rodded other peoples
creations. there was never a "Shelby tiger" except for the yellow racer he
ran.. even the prototype was a Shelby alpine...



Anyway.. how much of the Shelby stuff actually ended up on the car rootes
made their own steering, kept alpine brakes.. used a different rear end to
the Shelby car etc... Let the mustang guys think what they want with their
2009 sepc cars.. they do legitimately have SHELBY on the title.. Which
essentially equates to paying ol' Carroll a royalty for that privilege..
