I stand corrected on two statements , the notice was in "Classic and
Sportscars" not in 'Thoroughbred & Classic Cars' and the sale price
was listed as 3910 pounds, not 3190. I'm not sure what 6,000 GBP
presents, some type of money conversion?. What's interesting to
compare is the restored Tiger MKI that sold for 12,650 pounds. I
guess a converted Harrington Tiger is less than a restored MKI.

This was listed in "Classic and Sportscars" as being sold for just under
6,000 GBP and was made from "factory" parts about 12 years ago. It was
listed as being very good but non-original. There were no photos of the
Tiger or the Le Mans Alpine that sold for 20k GBP. They mentioned the
Tiger, while not original, was still a excellent buy.
