As far as I could retrieve info:

- Car was originally sold in Boston, Massachusets in 1966
- Changed hands a couple of times in Connecticut area.
- British car WS bought & owned it from 2003-2009 ( used to work on it most of the time before)
- Sold it to Gullwing Motors in 2009
- Gullwing sold it on to a dealer in the Netherlands ( all files except pink slip unfortunately got lost in that process :mad:)
- German friend & dealer bought it from there. He sold it on to me in 2010. Refurbed quickly to get it registered / driving. Went to UK Tiger 50 & Cannes in 2014 with it (10k km). Confirmed genuine/ numbers matching Tiger. Strong & reliable runner.

Lots of poor body repairs on the X- frame, front/rear floors & sills. My bodyshop refused to do further spot repairs, but rather will do properly/ complete exchange ( most of the panels already available). Quite some panelwork to do...
