Now that I have found one near me I have gotten better at the history of them. 
Norm, you might have seen the more common LeMans version with a very distincive 
rear roof line.

"Clancy" notes he raced against a Tiger version of the Harrington.

I wish my senior memory were better.  But, I know that Syd Silverman 
owned
one of the factory Tiger coupes & he & his associate Bob raced it for a
number of years in vintage events.  The earliest one I can pinpoint was
Watkins Glen 1992.  I believe that Syd sold the car last year or year
before.   Can't say I've seen in since.

The roof line on the Tiger coupes (again - senior memory.) I think was 
more
angled, as if they had used the factory hardtop shape as opposed to the
graceful curve of the Harrington coupes.
