Andy @ Classic & Race (.co.uk) restored and runs a TIGA HFF 1600 . . . . he may know something.

The only 77 Tiga in the UK, I'm pretty sure, was the Rob Wilson car. He used it first half of that year, then swapped it for a Reynard. It wasn't very successful so didn't appear in many/any MN/AS reports. I assume its this car you have, Bob?

Indeed Rob had the works!!!!!!!!!!Tiga sponsored by Royal Grafton China.Original colour was black.

Rob Wilson wrote round by round reports for the NZ racing rag MotorAction of his FF2000 years.Was always a good read.

I knew Rob very well during that period. I'd love to read those articles if they still exist in any form anywhere, particularly around July/August 1977 when he switched from the Tiga to the Reynard.

I can help with those reports, please let me know. Rob wrote in "Motoraction" from late 1975 till early 81.

We do have a couple of Tiga threads in the chassis archive
