Hello All - By means of background, I have just acquired a MK1 Tiger from California (Vin : B9472878 HROFE - TAC 0878). I am based in Melbourne, Australia. The story goes that the car was bought new from the UK by a US Serviceman and has spent its whole life until now in the US and whilst undergoing a colour change from green to white, always remained in RHD configuration (hence my interest)
The guy I bought it from, whilst pleasant and helpful, did not have any history (or provenance as the Brits like to call it) on the car. Norm Miller sent me a photo showing it on its side prior to restoration and that is pretty much it.
I have owned a couple of Tigers previously including one of the last South African Violets but this is by far in the best condition and would dearly love to complete a more comprehensive picture. To that end, if anyone knows more about this car, it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Will
