Wasn't the original-sized battery for a Tiger a Group 27? Admittedly, I
don't know if they still make that size, but if originality is your goal, I
believe that there is a Lucas Group 27 reproduction battery available on the
market. They are made along the same lines as the Autolite Group 24F
battery that I used to run in my '65 Shelby; original-looking reproduction
case with fresh innards. I never really had any trouble with the Autolite
unit in my Shelby; it worked just like a new battery and lasted about as
long, too.
