Had three Tigers, tried the Porsche 356 gig got out of that boring thing, and got my head screwed back on straight and want another Tiger.. Looking for a good car no junk preferably a nut & bolt rotisserie job...I'm in So. Cal, and probably one of Dales best customers:) Thanks for the help.

Did you look at the Tiger in the for sale section? CJ Richards has it for sale. Third ad down. No affiliation.

Yes, 356's are boring.

tiger b9471424

trying to upload some pictures i have stored in the "my pictures" part of my computer of my 1965 mark1 in forest green restored to highest standards; thanks Jim Wahl
ok so it was used in a model shoot last year; no ribbing please!

P S. of course just in case anybody would like to see my new Grandson Nathan in his first flight in his green flying saucer i included it also; he landed without incident [no grandchildren were harmed in this flight] [ born on groundhog day 2 /11/11]

interested

First off thank you for the reply. Now some questions as I am interested, who did the body and paint, when was the car finished, do you have any specs as these cars are modified to all differnt levels, and can I get your name so I can jog Dales memory. And again thank you so much for the repsonse. oh any photos of body pre paint?

Also still in the hunt here. It is so great that you folks have helped me so much. I've learned a ton (lots more to go!) and it's been fun.

I can now at least quantify my 'best candidate' for purchase as an authenticated Tiger that is -

1. An original color car.
2. No white (sorry, totally personal reasons)
3. No existing rust; obviously correctly repaired is okay.
4. Cooling mods, engine mods fine.
5. Body mods (wheel arch cuts, valance cuts, etc) not fine
6. Would love a hardtop, not required

I'd go for a strong driver #3 quality, or stretch to a 1.5 quality car. Accordingly, I've adjusted my price range. It'd be "25 and up", with the 'up' being of commensurate quality to the range.

I'm very interested to hear what's out there. If not for me, I promise to pass it along to help you, the cause, the enthusiasm.

Thanks,
