[Tigers] Black Tigers

[Norman C. Miller]

First, there is no field, or column in the "factory" production 
record for colour code.
Second, in the roughly 390 owner reports for MK II Tigers to date, 
none have turned up bearing code #1.
Third, the pictured car (referenced in your post and appearing in the 
goggle search images) was originally code #86, but now carries a 
counterfeit chassis plate..
Emacs!
