I have recently required a tiger from the USA which i have been told that was originally sent to California but then moved to Canada. The car i understand was part of a deceased estate where the car was undergoing the start of a restoration. The car found its way to the UK where i acquired it from a classic dealer. the car was advertised as a matching number a mark 1 1965 model. As you can imagine i was super excited by the car and immediately joined the STC in the Uk and wrote to the STOA to see if any information was available for the history of the car. The numbers provided confirmed it was a Tiger and the that they were correct however after closer inspection of the engine when removed the assembly date of the engine around October 1965 with the ford blue block would suggest that this is not the original engine as advertised but came from a later mark 1A. The car is undergoing a full not and bolt restoration with a tiger expert called Sherwood Restorations from Nottinghamshire England and this will be their 6 full tiger restoration. I have named my car “ HOPE” after the year we have all endured and i would dearly love to reunite her engine and obtain as much of her history as possible.
The chassis number is B9470924LRXFE with corresponding jenson JAL 560427 is correct together with the correct axles but the engine 1906 A27KA is not the engine i have despite being on the valve cover so if anyone can shed any light on this moonstone car i would be very grateful. happy to receive anything and wish you all a merry Christmas and a safe 2021. Thanks for reading Simon.
