So these would then be the "continuation series" BON?
Trying to not draw too fine a parallel here... ;)
I think it would be more interesting to do a new book that looks at the
Tiger's current popularity, such as it is, the amazing amount of reproduction
and remanufactured parts available for the car, and what that says about the
ownership. Do some profiles of the different types of Tigers and their
owners:
- the unrestored but well-maintained survivor
- the resto-mod
- the basket case to concours winner
- the autocross and/or track-day special
- the barn find
An appendix with an updated print registry, and a listing of current clubs
would round it out pretty well.
Obviously, the above information can already be distilled from a detailed
compilation of Internet information, but having it all together in one place
would be helpful and having it in print is more palatable to a lot of folks.
Cheers,
Theo
