I recently saw part of a SpeedChannel program on a '66 European Rally in
which factory Tigers competed. Apparently they won their class. However, I
think they were bested outright in hillclimbs and other tests by something
which I believe was a Ford product, possibly a Cortina(?) It looked a bit
like a Datsun 510, also a successful rally car in its day. Anyway, my
question is whether anyone knows what the car was and what was the secret of
its performance? It didn't appear to have the advantage of being either
super small, super light or super aerodynamic all of which makes me wonder
what made it go?
