Equipment
260/164hp, 4-speed, centerlock wheels, hardtop, hood scoop, dual mirrors, wood dashboard, wood steering wheel, dash clock.
Condition
Very clean engine bay. Very good paint, chrome and interior. Fully restored in 2015 to high but not excessive standards. Represented as matching numbers engine with later 4-speed. Reportedly one of 15 Tiger GT models produced, which included a hardtop, deleted the soft top and added some interior upgrades.
Market commentary
It's hard to say what the GT configuration does to a 260-powered Tiger's value. It may be rare, but it didn't change the car by much and it's not all that well known. The bidders thought very highly of it, bidding this car to a price above what even a concours-ready Mk I Tiger would bring, but both the seller's expectations and RM's estimate are beyond even that, which is a stretch.
