    Markson, I had a look over a mk2 tiger body shell today at a mates workshop. Not the one your involved with , is it?
    Same owner for over 30yrs, Classic raced in the eighties. Boss 302 powered after the 289 died. Owner has a container business. Nice car and owner.

    Cheers Colin.

    Hi Colin
    Thanks for you post
    Yes I do know of the car, its owner is Alan M ??? although I have not seen it for many years
    It is or was, a left hand drive car and was once owned by a Ronnie Condon who passed away a few years ago. Markson
