Tiger Tiger burning shame

July 7, 2014

Looks like my timing chain skipped a tooth last month, when my addled brain converted a trio of Sunbeam Tigers into Rapiers. For the record, it was three Tigers that finished second, third, and fourth on the Pirelli Classic Marathon. And I was there at the start and saw the cars, too. Apologies to the team prize winners. There’s many a slip ’twixt brain and typing finger…

Bravely ignoring his degree in industrial design after discovering night rallies in a Renault 8, GC joined Motor Sport by accident, in the Teesdale days around 1982 when Jenks and WB were office regulars and Mr Tee ruled with a rod of cardboard. He took part in some of the early historic rallies, winning one of the Pirelli Marathons, and regularly runs his Mk2 Jaguar in road events.
