(including buyers premium)


Lot details

Registration No: G788 TBD
Chassis No: SA9EMDMSU1B061917
MOT: July 2023

  • Completed and SVA tested in 2009 and correctly registered with the DVLA
  • Utilises a 1989 Ford Sierra donor vehicle with a 2.0-litre Pinto SOHC engine and Type 9 gearbox
  • Under 5,000 miles covered since completion
  • Offered with a history file including many previous MOT certificates

Tiger Racing launched as a manufacturer of road and race cars and was formed back in 1989. Now established as large manufacturers of kit cars, the kits supplied to customers are usually in assemble at home form with a base chassis, and can be purchased partially complete or with nothing else to acquire available. The Cat is unique amongst similarly styled cars in that it uses the entire Sierra rear axle subframe as it unbolts from the donor, making for easy assembly. Defining characteristics of the car are the aluminium side panels and the one-piece rear bodywork (rather than separate wheel arches hanging on the tub).

The Tiger Cat on offer was completed and passed an SVA test in 2009, with the ‘G788 TBD’ produced for a 1989 Ford Sierra Laser. The build started in 2001 with the 2.0-litre SOHC four-cylinder Pinto engine being overhauled and re-bored to 2.1-litre capacity, and the Sierra Type 9 five-speed manual transmission renovated and fitted. The Tiger was then gradually built over the subsequent eight years, finishing with a rolling road-set up and registration. Finished in Marron with Black interior upholstery, ‘G788 TBD’ has covered under 5,000 miles since its completion and is showing six former keepers (including some during life as the Sierra). The Tiger is offered with a history file which includes a large collection of invoices relating to the build, MOT certificates dating back to 2008, documents relating to the SVA and registration, original Tiger sales literature, a current V5C document with the car correctly registered as a Tiger, and the E1 is offered with a no advisory MOT until July 2023.
