Tigers have really muscled their way into the spotlight over the past year, with two examples selling at Pebble Beach last August for over $200,000 each! Much like the Cobra, the Tiger uses the same formula of a small, light British body coupled with Ford V-8 power. With a 289 under the hood of this Mk II, it is the rarest and most desired version. Needless to say, the seller is probably regretting not keeping the car all these years.
