New guy, Mr. Bob here. Recently rescued my deceased brother-in-law's '66 Mk II from 30 years in the Sierra Woods. I was hoping it would be in better shape but it's quite rough. I would feel better about it if I could get the hood open & see the engine. I think the hood latch should be under the dash, over your left knee. I see nothing. Help?View attachment DSC_0026.jpeg
No hood latch?

Mr. Bob,
The hood release is right of center of the dashboard and the support for it bolts to the right side dashboard brace. Look for it there.

Thank you. Makes since these were originally right hand drive. Engine is ugly, no carb, all of the fluids except engine oil seem to have 'disappeared'.

Welcome to the site Bob! All us Tiger fanatics would love to see more pictures of course. And lots of folks here can offer advice on the best way forward, getting it back on the road, or whatever your plans are.
I would suggest for now, scour the place where it was stored, for any and all little bits and pieces that may have been removed from the car. Even if you're not quite sure it's really a Tiger part, grab it. You'd be surprised how much some of those little parts would cost to replace. Good luck!

You are correct, of course. I have double checked the serial numbers and they say it's a MK 1a.
