The drag racing car had an aftermarket fiberglass fastback on it, from
Astro Fiberglass, or something like that. I've seen the one original
Harrington Tiger a couple times, along with a couple pretenders out of
England. The original looks nothing like the awkward Astro topped
version.

"there was no such thing as a Harrington Tiger"
On the back of the Sunbeam Specialties catalog is a photo of one with
the owners name circa 1990. The car was entered at the Pebble Beach
Concours D'Elegance in 1990. In my reading about Tigers, I recall
seeing a photo of a drag racing Tiger in the mid-60's that had a
fastback similar to the Harrington Alpine. Maybe the one-off
Harrington Tiger is the same car.
