That is a good question, and deserves an answer. When a good author goes to
great lengths to publish a good account of a famous marque, and is then it is
ruined by poor editing, that is an injustice. It is more so, to us, as it was
a British car subject in an international magazine devouted to British
history. It could have been a great Tiger article, with a picture of an
Austin Nippy, and a picture of Elvis Presley as Carroll Shelby. Bringing it
to the attention of the Classic Motoring Community should bring pressure on
the publisher to be more accurate, and at least an apology to the author, so
no one thinks he doesn't know the difference.

That is why Tigers, Sunbeams, MG's and even the beautiful, but mistitled
Triumph owners and organizations should be aware of it.
