This particular Tiger Z100 was sold on ebay for £7350 approximately 3-4 weeks ago to a dutch buyer who is now re-selling it for just under £19,000

Hell of a mark up that is

Nope - that was a Tiger too and was built by Chris Allanson of Z-cars. It was the Z100WR and had one ZX12R engine powering the front wheels and one powering the rears. 404bhp so was fairly nippy when i got to go out for 3 laps around Curborough in it.

linky to Youtube
