[Tigers] clocks

[michael king]

The clocks were part of the Rootes factory approved options list. Parts
supllied by UK mfgs for rootes cars at their request or from existing
optional parts and often branded or boxed for rootes application.

Some of the factory options crossed over with LAT options:
LAT-1 Induction kits
LAT-69: Talbot "303" Sr. Bullet Mirro

LAT-72: Motorola Radio Kit
<http://www.tigersunited.com/resources/parts_service/pp-lat72.asp>
LSD and traction bars,

These were available in the UK.. But most LAT parts were usa sourced and
designed to homologate performance parts for scca prod racing or dress-up
and merchandise bits for extra sales and PR and not comonly available in
the UK
