This Super 6 registered very early 1991 is one of the earliest tigers out there, sold in kit form to a friend Brian living on the coast in Kent, sadly he passed away a short while ago, this little Tiger has some interesting history, its around the 35th car built from when Tiger was formed and with Brian has had a few little setbacks !! early days with the Tiger owners we decided a trip to Belgium was a good idea, we had Well we thought it would be a good idea to have a small circuit round the trees and back, all going well until Brian span his Tiger sidewards into a rather large tree, from the factory we had took a demo Tiger six on a trailer just in case of a problem Brian used this on the way back, 2 hours from the port the heavens opened up and everyone got soaked, it was a fun event. Quite a few owners drive out there and we stayed in some funny little houses sort of lodges near a lake/forest.
We repaired the Tiger for Brian no problem, a few years later he phoned me and told me he had set the Tiger alight and it was in a petrol station !! apparently the union on his twin webber carb’s had come lose and with petrol on a hot exhaust it was quite a mess. Poor old Tiger ! since being unwell over the last few years the Tiger was not used and left outside, with the family we chatted and decided I should purchase the car and put it back as it was, no upgrades – well maybe the front brakes ( original ones are seized anyway) the rest of the car will remain original, my Mum made the seats – trim these will remain, the car has covered just 14K over its 33 years, as we rebuild this car you will be able to follow it here.
