I have noticed that all of the MkII Tigers I have seen recently have had
the rounded
headlight rims as opposed to the peaked rims used on the MkI & MkIA
models. However,
many years ago, back in the 1970's, I owned a MkII for a short while
that had peaked
rims. Was this another case of Jensen using whatever was on the shelf
that day when
the car was being built or was there a definite changeover date when
they went from
peaked to rounded rims. Or were they all rounded as delivered?
The particular MkII that I owned was B3821000139 LRXFE and was red. It
came to me
as a wreck as the former owner had tried to operate it in an inverted
position. As Dylan
said, "I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now" so I
proceeded to part the
car out and the pieces are scattered over Tiger-land now. I still have
the headlight rims
and a few other odd pieces but nothing worth much any more (before you
all write to
ask about the side and wheel trim, much to my chagrin). Norm was
informed of its
ultimate demise long ago, so it will not appear as an Alger, hopefully.
Anyway, it seems that, at least from this one example, peaked rims on a
MkII are
acceptable, so I am wondering if anyone else knows of other examples.
Cheers,
Tod
