The Tiger has always been a very cool, understated car.

Not many know that two prototypes were commissioned to be built...
...one by Shelby and the other, independantly, by Ken Miles.

It was killed off in 1967 when Chrysler bought a majority stake in Rootes, and wasn't too keen on a Ford-powered car in the stable.
