Bon jour bon ami.

Welcome to the Tiger Family.

I can understand you desire to track Tigers, as I started to do
the same thing years ago. They I learned that Norm Miller
of California had inherited a data base infomation on every
Tiger ever built. This info come from the official Rootes
archives in the British Transportation Museum. He orginized
and published this information in his Book of Norman. There
was only one printing and it is high sought after. When found
a copy will sell for $500 USD or more.

Norm has kept his data base as current as possible, but is
very guarded about the information. He will not sned anyone
his data base. If you have a question about a specific car
he will provide information on that one car.

He is trying to avoid the possibility of counterfeiters using
his list to find unaccounted for numbers.

So you probably will not get many responses to you request
for information.

Sunbeam Specialities make a perfect reproduction of the
crash pad. It looks like new but is of a better quality vinyl.
I believe CAT sells one too.

You should become familiar wil http://www.TigersUnited.com. This
site will giver you everything you could ask for about your
car. Its free. So enjoy.

Thank you for your reception on the Tiger family.

But he haven’t a copy of “the book of norman”
It’s a book more expensive on E bay, may be 700 or 800$.

You have started this same action.
have you got a lot of tiger in your data base?

me I have 170 tigers vin with pictures.
it’s a job for a long long long year but it’s very interresent.

I have a lot of answers by all the world( germany, UK, australia, USA, France…..).

I’m member in France of the Classic Sunbeam and Rootes de France.
we are 63 members with only rootes car.

I have a tiger red in france, It’s a 260 on 1965 (B9472706).

It’s possible to send me a picture about your tiger?
Because I don’t have your car in my data base.

the name of a crash pad is also a dash pad?

CAT is a club of TIGER.
have you got a link for the crash pad or a contact name?

thank you for your help

Are you talking about the dash pad that goes on top
of the dash. That a thick molded piece that goes under
the windshield and wraps around the top of the
instrument panel.

Or are you talking about the piece at is at the bottom
of the instrument panel and goes under the glove
box across under the steering column?

Hello,

I don’t know how many Sunbeam VENEZIA there are in FRANCE.
When it’s possible I’ll ask at my club.
