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