Very classy video documentation of your car. Really enjoyed this presentation and the scenery. We had a ‘67 MK 1A with engine bored to 289 cu in. It is the only car that I regret selling. Thank you.
Hey Denny loved this video I was shocked that the 0 to 60 was seven seconds I just subscribed can’t wait to see more! You forgot the worlds fair in 1965
Thanks for watching ! We always try to match the music to the era of the featured car. We wish we could use music like Shawn Lees but UA-cams copyright system requires licensing
I really love these cars, my Dad was a British car guy and had a TR-3A from 1963 until my brother was born in 72 (I was born in 67). I always liked the concept of little British or European car, with a big thumpy American V-8 under the bonnet. There was a gentleman in Edmonton Alberta, Canada who converted an Alpine to a Tiger himself, only he used a punched out 289 (not sure what the final displacement was) and because he was disabled and missing his right leg he ran an automatic transmission in the car. Now you know from your video and driving the car that there is little room for anything in those things so how he stuffed an auto transmission attached to a 289 is beyond me. My Dad used to see him at one of the A&W's drive-in's in town back in the early 70's with the car and he used to take it out to the speedway too! I have no idea what he would have run, but it would have been a hoot to watch it go!! Please keep the cars and the memories coming. Thank-you
Great story, wow an automatic Tiger conversion, thanks for the info and keep on watching ! Next up is a 63 Cadillac Convertible but after that another British car with some bite, a 2005 Lotus Elise
I had a Tiger, back in the 70’s, added a 302 with automatic to it. these always had clutch issues if you ran them hard, the automatic eliminated the problem. Ran a 600 cfm Holley. Added large exhaust, custom mufflers, koni shock and radial tire, which made it handle very good. Very quick!
@@billcooper423 How much room did you have from the back of the engine for the bell housing, and for locating the shifter? Do you have any pictures or video of your Tiger? I'm not building anything, I'm just curious and love old cars and the ingenuity used by people to make things work!!
Thanks for watching ! Perhaps you are thinking of James Bond Dr. No with one of the first "bond cars" being an Alpine. Get Smart definitely featured the Tiger , in fact Don Adams loved the car so much he bought it and rumor is his daughter later wrecked it .
The stock air filters were oval and not chromed. Over the years, the stock air filter have have been lost. Almost impossible to replace hence the ugly round one. I've heard that repo stock ones are in limited production but very pricey.
@@brucebeauvais1324 Yeah,the air filter housing on mine was oval,finned aluminum...very pretty indeed!In my opinion that is!Always called it a psycho-car,but it sure was fun!
@@giannirocco7492 Agreed. Like any ex-Tiger owner, I wish I'd never sold it. If I'd saved the VIN, it'd be fun to see where it ended up. Just a daily driver when I owned it, it needed a lot of work to make it nice.
@@brucebeauvais1324 had mine long ago so it was fairly nice,faded paint is all I can think of.Bought it for $500 and sold it for $1200 so I thought I did good!Yeah,never should have sold it!
@@giannirocco7492 I bought mine in 1974 for $900. Sold in 1978 for $800. Owned for 4 years, lost only $100? I,too, thought I did well. I remember all the good stuff, not so much of the bad parts of ownership.
Loved the drone shots, I have had my 1967 Tiger for 45 years. It is getting a new aluminum radiator by Griffin as I write this.
Thanks for watching ! So cool you still have it, the most common comment we get is "I wish I still had it " !

Thanks for watching ! So many ex-Tiger owners we have talked to always say they regret selling them

@@billcooper423 Learned that the car in this episode is getting a new clutch, throwout bearing and flywheel so true
I thought Don Adams drove an Alpine in the TV show

Great Production
Thank you and Thanks for watching ! If you haven't subscribed already please do , we have some fun episodes lined up !
How Cool
Great stuff. And great presentation.
GREAT job Denny! Lots of wonderful information.
The builder`s name was Walter White , how cool is that?
Breaking good !
I bet its fun to drive
I think “seat of your pants driving” describes the ride
With a stock 2.88 final drive, they're not much off the line. However 30-80 is great fun.
I had no idea the Tiger was so cool. No wonder Maxwell Smart used it.
What's up with the ugly,round air cleaner?Mine had an oval shaped air cleaner,very pretty!
