I'm not a TAC official but of the 4 or 5 Tigers I see semi-regularly one is
a conversion. The guy who now owns this car wants it to be known that it is
not a real Tiger and makes it a point to tell you that. He is a good guy.
It seems that the guy who he got the car from may not have been such a great
guy. Certain subtle steps were taken by him to try and make the car look
more Tiger like and less Series V conversion like. Although not necessarily
a indictment of fraud it makes you wonder.
I have heard of other conversions, seen one other, and at least one of those
was definitly presented as a real Tiger and caused their owner hardship when
the truth was found out.
Ramon said he couldn't undestand why some of you guys don't see the value
that TAC provides and I agree. I know you won't listen but get this but,
TAC HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ORIGINALITY. It has to do with authenticity, get
it? If you care not for authenticity that is fine. Who can argue with
"this car is for fun so I don't care if it is original or authentic"? That
is OK. Some people care about authenticity, isn't that OK too?
