[Tigers] tiger burning

[Howard gentry]

Hi,
     My uncle, leo vorholdt had a burning Tiger..His was a 1966, BRG, 306hp
289 type..We were taking it out for a drive in Charleston,Wv..Aug. 1967 and
were warming it up in the drive way..After a few minutes, we noticed paint
fade on the boot lid and smoke comming out around the top..Popping the boot
lid open , we noticed the fuel pump merrily supplying a fine fire all about
the pump//a garden hose put out the blaze, a new pump cured the leaky gaskets
and arcing contact points..Tiger fun, everyday.

several years ago ( 10 to 12 years??) mike gaffney was driving his tiger in
his home town of pittsburg . he got hit in the rear and found that there was
a
fuel leak. the car went up in flames and i believe one head light rim still
had a small amount of paint left on it after the fire was out. the rest of
the
car was well done.
