Tiger S1 was 260 (=4.2 litres), sold in US, UK and elsewhere with both LHD and RHD production. S2 was 289 (4.7 litres), much rarer - only 633 made - mainly in US so LHD; only 27 RHD sold in UK. This a S1 RHD, and has UK tax disc. |

"First registered by Humber Ltd in February 1965 and used as a photographic and press car in various period road tests. EDU 296C was also widely used in the 1965 Columbia Pictures psychological thriller ‘Bunny Lake is Missing’, with Laurence Olivier. In 1987 EDU was upgraded with a ‘breathed on’ 289 fast road engine." - from here. More info here. |
