Why do we insist on calling them Shelby Tigers? They are not Shelby Tigers.
Yes, a very interesting car that was a plucky last gasp from a dying company
using an ancient chassis and an already obsolete engine relegated to
industrial duty, but NOT a Shelby Tiger.

I was cutting through the Santa Monica Airport today (well known west LA
shortcut) and saw the Shelby Racing trailer parked on the edge of what
looked
like a big film shoot.
I stopped and asked one of the grips what was going on and he said they were
shooting a car awards show called 'Autorox' for Spike TV.
According to this http://www.autorox.com/rsc/ Shelby gets an 'icon award'.
I wonder if he will mention the Shelby Tiger.
Also, for the show, the 60's English sports car voted the number one 'chick
magnet'? The Austin Healey 3000- although that can't be correct. I used to
have a 3000 and for some reason the car I drove was not a chick magnet.
