Ah, Nick. You already have one. I remember scoffing at the deal for the first one at nominally £4,000, traded, if I remember correctly. Got that wrong didn't I.
I still feel it is a flawed jewel, but then perfection does not often come with character. There is a challenge to get the best from the package. If that is not your thing, move on. Once the car is obtained to tick off a list of wants in a collection, the character is not so important and that is sad. So in a way a Tiger is 'bigger' than many other cars as it demands your attention to own and drive. A KR200 does too, but as the power is not abundant, I guess its not so intense. For the same reason they are not really happy cars trundling in a load of other microcars. Schmitts are not at there best dawdling. One reason Schmitters are accused of being arrogant etc. But the fact is they are happier at over 50 than pootling about at 40 something. In convoys of mixed micros I think Tigers find themselves between 3rd and 4th gear. So that is why they often hare off together in a group. That is the experience that one needs to appreciate what they are about really.
