Rick,

There was a recent Wheelers Dealer’s where they did a lot of work ‘restoring’ one of these including a new canopy at something like £700 which Ed broke trying to trim it. The took it to some annual gathering and from that it sold for around £20K.

Car SOS did one too, but Fuzz didn't break the canopy! I've often wanted to get a drive in the Tiger 500cc, but that would be asking for the impossible today, given the values.

I remember stumbling across a very dusty example back in the early 1980s. It was stored in the back of a hangar at Barton aerodrome near Manchester, and looked like it had been left there for a looooong time. I often wonder what happened to it.
