Daytona Coupe with a British accent, not what you think


Recommended Posts

Interesting, I had never heard of this prototype before. I remember a few of the Tiger roadsters with the 260 Ford engine available to the general public and recall seeing a few on the road. What I do remember was that it was a short lived project because of the Chrysler group bought all or part of the Roots group and they didn't like having a Ford engine in any of their products and the Tiger was dropped and the Alpine it was based upon stayed in production for a time. My be some one else has some additional and more accurate information on that. This La Mans project looks as if it could have been a real threat once they got the engine durability issues fixed. The rear body work looks big and bulky to my eye, but what really matters is if it would make the car faster.
