I've always liked and wanted to own a Tiger. I saw a clean black Tiger getting off of 237 in Mountain View a couple of weeks ago. An older guy was driving it...gave him a thumbs up and he had a wide grin.

That sounds like the Sunbeam Tiger demographic.

TAC would be cool. Doesn't make much difference to my dad though. He is the original owner...with original paperwork from the dealership and a photo of him next to the car in his yard back in 1965...there is no TAC that can provide that type of authentication.

I think an awful lot of Cobras are silver to complement the driver's hair.

Hmmm, my Kirkham seems a good match for mine!

Sunbeamtiger65 - your Mom had a great smile in that video clip - bet your
Dad did too even though you couldn't see him. Great car and even better
story. I love happy endings.
