Author Description

Over the years there have been a number of books written about Rootes cars that only touch on the competition history of the Tiger, but this book provides an accurate, wide ranging and detailed history of the works Tigers. It covers the early development as a rally car in late 1964 right through to the final rally in 1966 covering each of the thirteen rallies in detail. It includes the Le-Mans effort in June 1964 and the development of the cars for this one-off exercise. Much of the detail in the main text and the appendices the build of the works cars, FIA homologation details, previously unseen works cars build sheets and a large number of outstanding photographs from both Rootes and other motorsports archives have come from the Competition Department archives and from the mechanics own notes. Large format limited edition.
