The matching-numbers 260ci V8 is mated to a non-original close-ratio four-speed manual transmission.
An engine rebuild was completed in the early 2000s during the refurbishment process, and an electronic fuel-injection system was removed in favor of a Holley carburetor in 2015 by Dale’s Restorations.
A stainless-steel exhaust system has been installed, and the clutch was replaced in March 2022.
Additional maintenance performed within the past three years included replacement of the clutch master and slave cylinders, generator, voltage regulator, spark plugs, wiring harness, and brake booster.
The data plate pictured above shows the stamp for engine number 1245 G13KA, which corresponds with the number found on a valve cover and on the Certificate of Disclosure.
The GT was distinguished from Tiger “Sports Tourer” models primarily by its lack of a convertible top and fitment of a standard body-color hardtop; only fifteen examples were built.
This car received a bare-metal repaint in black in the early 2000s, although it was originally finished in Moonstone white (19).
An LAT hood scoop is equipped.
The body was repaired in 2016 by Lasky Coachworks to address rust in the passenger-side quarter panel as well as other imperfections.
The work included the refinishing of the front end, upper cowl vent, hood assembly, rocker panels, quarter-panel assemblies, trunk lid, and more.
15″ Halibrand wheels are shod with BFGoodrich Advantage T/A tires.
Four-wheel disc brakes are equipped.
The GT model received a walnut dashboard, wood-rimmed steering wheel, clock, ammeter, and glovebox light as standard equipment.
This example’s black interior was refurbished with new Connolly leather upholstery and Wilton carpeting in the early 2000s.
The steering wheel was refinished and a new shifter installed in 2016.
Black floor mats with Tiger lettering have been added.
The tachometer was repaired in 2018.
Jaeger instrumentation includes a 5,500-rpm tachometer and a 140-mph speedometer that hosts a five-digit odometer indicating just under 6k miles.
The odometer was reset in the early 2000s at approximately 60k miles, although true mileage is unknown.
