My Tiger will be listed on Bring A Trailer in about two weeks. It is a solid and superb original 1965 MK1. It was owned by Andrea Hellings, long time Tiger enthusiast and one of the creators of SUNI.
The car has 50,000 original documented miles and I have a complete history and all service records for the last 7 years. Originally purchased by Harvey Friend on 10/25/1965 from Crook's Motors in New haven Connecticut, Harvey kept the car and sold it to Andrea Hellings in 1987. Andrea was very active in the Tiger community and many people remember her like Tiger Tom. Andrea had Scott Woerth, a well known Tiger restorer from years ago do a light restore.
I have owned the car since 2013. We did an interior refresh by re-dying original carpets as they were in great shape, replacing seat foams and dash and R&Ring the gauges. Other than that it was too nice to replace more
We have methodically rebuilt most of the mechanicals the first 3 year or ownership and the car drives like new and is extremely reliable. Larry Marzano, ex Tiger racer and expert here locally has assisted with all the work. I have all receipts and a fresh PPI.
Car is original except for and Nardi steering wheel, modern vintage radio, Edelbrock manifold with 4 barrel carb and led headlights and bulbs. All original parts are included. Also Andrea changed the trans to a wide ratio 4 speed Toploader as she wanted a more relaxed RPM on the highway. The car runs at 2500 RPM and 60 MPH. The engine and trans are original and the engine maintains a solid 200 degrees idling in traffic on a 90 degree day, remarkable for a Tiger.
TAC was done by Patrick, Rob Roy and Duke in 2014.
I was hoping to find someone in the community to purchase it but have had no luck. I wants to thank everyone for all of the help over the years and am posting pictures and video link for everyone's enjoyment. Thanks You!
