Tiger Listers...
Last August at Doug Jenning's place (TAC event and Dayton
British Car Show),
there was a beautiful red Tiger (I believe a Mark 1A)
equipped with a "Perma
Cool" electric fan in front of the radiator. He had
it hooked to a switch so he
could use it in stop and go traffic, etc as
needed (may have also had it temp
controlled by a thermostat... can't
recall). I had made note of the model
number of the fan and also the owner's
name... but as I am prone to do, lost the
note. The owner had a huge three
ring binder he had put together with the
entire history of the car and all of
the modifications, etc. As I recall, there
was something unique about the
car's history... I believe it was used in a
manufacturer's car show by Rootes
or something like that.
Anyone know who the owner of that Tiger is? I'd like
to get some information
from him regarding the fan and its hookup.
Alternately: can one of you guys point me to the correct model number and
style
of Perma Cool pusher fan for fitment in a Tiger? Their catalog is at
this link:

I am not sure if the fan is one of their "high
performance" or "standard"
electric fans. If one of you is using a Perma
Cool that works well, please let
me know which model you used.
BTW: The only
cooling issue I've experienced was some overheating when we
participated in a
4th of July parade on a very hot day... forced to crawl along
at about 10 mph
(if that) for quite a while. It is that type of situation (or
stop & go on a
really hot day) I'd like to help with the electric fan.

Bill Waite
