Hagerty Series

[HolyCat]

Hagerty's Insurance has started a new video series featuring an engine swap in a Tiger. What looks like a fairly stock Tiger Mk IA is about to get a built 289.

Also an article in their mag this month

Nice (edit: same) white Tiger on an OR drive.

I see his tach works as well as mine.

Pretty drive!

This is Brad Phillips, Tiger owner, Hagerty spokesperson, TEAE member and a great guy who really promotes the Marque whenever he gets the chance. With the full A/V support from Hagerty, this should be a good series.

One thing

I would agree with. A lot of people have looked at my car with the 260 emblem and say oh wow does it have the original 260 in it. When I reply no their filterless mouths utter oh that's too bad... Yet I put on the happy face and remind them they are visually the same. It's really strange being a VW guy that changed motors like Levi 501s
