Tiger's best selling kit.
Minimum purchase of chassis/body.
Single donor kit (Ford Sierra)
Available in 8 gel-coat colours

The Tiger Cat has been designed to use a Ford Sierra as the donor car. The standard engine fitment is that from the donor Sierra, namely the Ford Pinto 8v engine. Other non-Sierra engines can be fitted, for example the Ford Zetec 16v.

The space frame chassis is constructed from 1" box section steel. It has been designed to use many parts from the Sierra donor, including the front hubs, track control arms and rear suspension assembly. The rear suspension unit is fitted with new Tiger springs and dampers. Adjustable Spax or Gaz coil-over dampers are a standard fitment on the front rocker suspension, they are an option for the rear.

The Tiger Cat is supplied on on of 8 standard gelcoat colours with extra gelcoat colours, or two-pack paint finish available as an option.

The minimum purcahse for the Tiger Cat is a chassis/body pack with additional 'stage' packs available as and when required. Alternatively a comprehensive kit is abailable. Tiger can supply a rolling chassis which will leave you with approximately 60 hours work to complete the car before taking it for the Single Vehical Approval (SVA) test. Factory built cars can be purchased.

The Tiger Cat is also available in Super Cat form whcih has a wider body to allow the fitment of 7"x15" wheels and 205-profile tyres.
