I think it's a matter of perspective. When sitting next to an E-Type, XK,
Cobra, Aston, or the more famous muscle cars of the era, I wouldn't expect my
Tiger to get much attention. However, when I bring it to the local LBC events,
it gets a lot of attention from fellow Triumph, MG, Healey and Lotus people.

Though George Boskoff was a Shelby employee, I don't think Shelby himself
had a whole lot to do with the car. From the Mammoth Tiger's United I only
recall Boskoff stating Shelby told him:
"Put one of our engines in that Alpine," and "Just bend the d*mn steering
arms." But still, it's nice to at least be a step-child when "dad" is
famous.
Regarding the looks, I'm no "fin fan," but I think they actually made the
car look better (though they could have been toned down slightly). The
treatment the Tigers got looks like the back end of a 1958 Rambler American.
I guess "to each his own," but I still like the looks of the Tiger in
general. As much as I can understand one's desire to see an inceased value
in their car had the value gone the way of the Cobra perhaps many of us on
the list couldn't have ever owned onee.
