Guess Ill push the age up a bit. Im 68 and bought the Tiger new in 1966.
I recall the first bank I went to refused me a car loan because there would
be no resale value. Found out they compared it to a Mercury at the same
price and at that time a used Mercury was worth almost nothing. The second
bank quickly offered a loan at a very good rate and I paid it off in half
the scheduled time.
Now I have to get the restoration going again (been parked since about
1972).
Moved when I retired and still dont have all of the former owners junk
removed. He was a mechanic and never threw anything away. Need to do some
work to the shop before I can work on the Tiger. So much to do and so little
time.
