Abstract:

Several members of the US West Coast CAT and STOA clubs, namely Buck Trippel, Tom Hall, Darren Mountjoy, Patrick King and Bill Rogers, visited in mid-October. Of course they were looking for Tiger related documentation, and are closely involved with what is known as the TAC authentication scheme, for which the original drawings at the Archive Centre are particularly helpful. During their 5-day visit they also catalogued many other drawings and spent an afternoon at the Coventry Transport Museum inspecting the Jensen records - if you don't know already, it was Jensens who modified the Sunbeam Alpine chassis to take the Tiger's large Ford V8 engine. There is more information about the visit on the Web site.
