Hey All,
Cool little car just no time for it. blown motor 1725 hillman everything else there just needs love.
Didn't know if it should go in the for sale section since it isn't related.

i'd give up my 750 to get that car. i had a tiger for a while in the early 90's sold it to get a tr-6 and a tr-4

You might go to the Hi plains raceway site and see if you could post it there or with one of the clubs.

   Hmmm...I wonder if you could easily drop a 260/289 into it like the Sunbeam Tiger had.

I'd go for a full frame and leaned on 340. And completely stock looks....well all but the 8 inch wide wheels with sticky rubber hiding the 4 wheel discs, and the unmistakable lope of a too-much-overlap cam at idle. ;D

Yea I sold it tonight.

Nice project for him and his 2 sons.  about 6 and 4. He shook my hand said consider it sold and will be swing by tomorrow with a trailer.
I'm so happy I have had this thing siting taking up space in the garage for about 6 years.

           Congratulations Paul, may I introduce you to something I certainly don't have yet? ???  It's called "Garage Space" :D I'm working on it though. Never have THAT much space though, as I've got a 1-car garage and I'd have to empty it out completely, to get THAT much space! :-\ ;)

Thank's Bill,
Yea I can move the bike around to work on them and still get a car in. it will be tight but better than cleaning off when snows.
