/"Seems to me Shelby American had a list of improvements for the Tiger."/
I've never heard of this list but perhaps I missed something that
occurred later on. Since I edited the George Boskoff video from when he
spoke at Mammoth I got to repeatedly hear what George said. He basically
implied that Shelby dumped the Alpine V-8 conversion on him and Shelby
had little interaction. When I believe it was John Panks came to pick up
the car it was George, not Shelby that took him for the test drive. When
done he asked George for the official drawings and George humbly replied
that, "Well..., I have a few templates in a box."
I hope I'm not coming across as contentious. Perhaps later on there was
interaction with Rootes and Shelby for improvements but at least
originally it seems Shelby did the job for the money and primarily
placed it into Boskoff's lap. From that point on George said he never
saw the car again (until Mammoth).
