Tigers tail in the tank, yep, I have one, its a classic very rare car, a Sunbeam sports car from the sixties that some enterprising yanks (Carroll Shelby) fitted a Ford V8 in. The owner of the parent company, Lord Rootes, took the prototype Tiger for a drive, he was extremley impressed and the Tigers prowled for about 3 years before Chrisler bought Rootes out. The Hillmans and others survived however the Tiger could not, Chrisler would not buy engines from Ford so the car production stopped. Now I have one in my shed waiting to prowl again, complete with tiger tail poking out of the petrol filler.
PS this is what keeps me occupied while not travelling, and pissies the missis off muchly.
