Try the Thruxton Race School. I know they used Tiga for years, don't know what model, but they might have a "bits box" in a corner somewhere.

Any joy on the Sports 2000 website?,you could also mention your problem on the American FF1600 site, it is www.apexspeed, you will need to go to the Formula Ford section and put a wanted add in and also a thread in the general section. Another contact is a Swedish driver who rebuilt a Tiga a few years ago, he used to post on here and I have met him a few times, his name his Henrik Hansson.

Hubs
Hello
Didn´t Dermot by all the Tigas from the thruxton race school? I think he had them for sale in bits. There are quite a few Tigas Sport 2000 racing here and I think #60 Niklas Johansson have made rear driveshaft conversions for use of VW driveshafts. I have nothing lying around but can check with Niklas. Which parts are you missing? Henrik |

I need Tiga FF parts BAD!
Matthewd,
I'm restoring a 78 Tiga FF. It came to me in boxes and is truely in junkyard condition. I hate to see these cars lost to scrap and so I've started a search for parts. 78,79,or 80 parts will do...... anything or any information you could supply would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much, Scott |
