In Europe the "Tiger" was sold as the "Alpine 260" because Panhard owned the
"Tigre" nameplate.  So there were Alpine 260's (I had a German brochure for
one).

Hi, my farther told me too check out this ??tiger. on eBay. at first glace 
(pic) it looks like a tiger until you look in the trunk. spare stands 
upright. I crossed the vin # & it comes up a series 5 alpine. the owner said 
it was a Alpine 260.  got to thinking about my first tiger( totaled before I 
got my lic.) rearended real hard. anyway i still have the remains of the car 
and in my tool box I belive that my side badge says 260 not sure if it says 
alpine or not. (havent got to my shop too check it out.  Anway, British 
Victoria LTD. under Emblems & Badges sells part # 9-2677 which says Alpine 
260. Im not sure but i belive that someone once told me that there was a 
Sunbeam Alpine 260 and that it was a Canadain Sunbeam. if so would that make 
this a Canadain Tiger 
       Any info or documentation would be great.  thanx Bear
