Mike: I owned a couple in the day (high school) and yes Tigers are very special cars. You still see them from time to time in CA, but since the increased demand for for these "English" performance cars keeps going up. Well less and less are seen on the road. The first cars came with a 260 and then the 289, which for value and performance is the one you want. Don't handle that good without some major front end work. Gear box is just ok, but not made for dropping the clutch hard. Wood dash and pretty nice seat for the day. Today you can get better tires to get the power somewhat to the ground. Most were ordered with the removable hard top (about 300lb) with plastic windows. Dual gas tanks, one in each rear fender contacted across the back by a single line. But in the day, you could make a fool of the Chev 327 guys and $$>money stoplight to stoplight.
If it for sale, take the time to look into it! It's a very fun car, and minilites are the rims of choice even today.
O' the cars of our youth.
