His daughter had it 'restored',<br>but sadly Andy passed prior to the restoration's completion.<br><br>Seems he rarely mentioned his Tiger ownership, but that didn't mean it was not important to him, as this 1998 quote proves:<br><br>"It's a sad fact of life that gratification is usually the death of desire. Once you have the object of desire you don't want it anymore. <br>For years I wanted a little sports car with lots of power. That was slow coming, too. In 1966, I finally got what I wanted, a Sunbeam<br>Tiger, British racing green, with a Ford V-8 engine under its bonnet. I still own it, and it weakens my theory about gratification and<br>desire because I like having it today as much as I did the day I bought it."<br><br>That was after 32 years of ownership, when Andy was about 79 years old.<br><br>Sounds like he was cut from a similar cloth as most of us Pantera owners.<br><br>I always liked Andy. Now, I like him more. :-)<br><br>Larry</span><o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
