Ken Miles did produce the first "Tiger". If I remember correctly he did it over a weekend and the car had a 260 and a 2 speed automatic. I have seen the "Miles Prototype" and it is a very interesting car. Lots of very strange things. Exhaust ran forward around the front cross member then aft. Fan hung down below the front vailence (spelling?) and could catch your feet if you stuck them under the car when it was running. After Miles built his then Shelby had George Boskoff (spelling?) produce the protoype that was presented to Lord Rootes who approved the production of the Tiger. I have heard that Miles drove his car for a while but I have also heard he did not.
