[Tigers] FW: Two questions

[Tom Witt]

“As for black being a special order... utter rubbish, colour code 1 was a stock tiger offering.”
YES! Somewhere in Tigerdom someone has a picture of a So. Cal. warehouse with the first shipment of Tigers to the west coast.  There are a number of black cars in that (color) photo.  To that end I tried counting because at #101 I was wondering if one of them was mine!

The rootes trust cert is basically a build sheet from the rooted trust archive. The same info norm could provide.

As for black being a special order... utter rubbish, colour code 1 was a stock tiger offering. If it had an interior other than red or black then it could have a special order interior, but black exterior was a stick offering.

  I just received the July issue of Hemmings. They list a Tiger that was sold at Godding and state that it had a  Rootes Archive Center Trust Certificate. I had never heard of this. Is anyone familiar with this certification?

  Second question relates to another statement in a Hemmings publication (Sport & Exotic Car). The interview with a Tiger owner who has a black car says that black was not a standard Tiger color and had to be ordered special. I wasn’t aware of this. Is this true?
