The truth of the matter is that Rootes records on the creation of Tiger models does not adequately exist to simply go by JAL or VIN numbers. Therefore, over the years a group of dedicated individuals has created a system by which a car can be evaluated to determine if the car in fact was created on the production line that produced Tigers. The procedure is called TAC (Tiger Authentication Committee). First check behind the glovebox for a TAC plaque saying that the car has already been evaluated. If there is no numbered plaque there, then the car has not be evaluated, or was previously evaluated and did not meet the authentication. The best thing to do is contact the local TAC inspector in your area, through the TAC chairman. The STOA (Sunbeam Tiger Owners Association) is the developer of TAC and keeper of records. http://www.stoa-tigerclub.com/contact.html Rachel, you’ve got some good questions.

I have found a few listed Registrys on websites but they all say that they are not complete. I am not sure what state the car would have been authenticated so I am wonderin if there is a person or registry we can access that may oversee Tigers Registry all throughout the nation insted of just the registrys of certain areas. Also I don't know if these registrys are updated annually or how these associations or clubs handle the registries but the Tiger I am looking into to find out if it is real belonged to my boyfriends dad who passed away in 2005. They lived in Missouri at this time and after he passed my boyfriend moved his mother along with the car here to Northern California. So you see my problem is that if the talk is true that he was a member of a tiger club, which one or how do we find out because the clubs probably cancel memberships if they are not contacted about a members death Please contact me so I know what to do because they want to sell his 66 Tiger and need to know the facts behind the car so they don't get ripped off!!!!
