Interesting suggestion......Jeff Howarth pay attention I need your help on
this one.
It is noteable that many articles do compare newer performance cars to the
Tigers of old.
The American press does a lousy job of covering older cars in retrospect.
They seem more in tune with helping the Big Three push the new rides on us.
Me, I prefer Auto Week. Now here is where I need you Jeff.......
Many British car mags I have seen often do retrospect's on older
"collectable" cars. Seems that they do two or three a year on the Tiger
over there, but the predominance is older TR's, MG's, Morgan's, Jags,
Aston-Martin's, and Morris Minors.
Great Idea Robert, we certainly could use the coverage.

Subject: Road & Track's Comparing the BMW M3 to a Tiger
The enthusiast auto publications infrequently refer to the Tiger when
describing a small, high powered sports car of pre-seventies vintage.
Yet there has never been an article or test (that I know of) on the
Tiger in the "affordable older sports car" categories that have graced
the MG and Fiat 124's. Has anyone considered a means to influence or to
bring the Tiger to the publishers notice. With many automotive
magazines originating/published in the L.A. area, an impressively
performing (i.e. over 350 HP) Sunbeam Tiger could be suggested as a
means to boost the cover attention over the cookie cutter generated
front wheel drive offerings. Perhaps publicity of the Tiger may not be
anyones objective.
