Only the Tigers need to be inspected. There's no point in spending the Man
hours to look at cars that are not being cloned. No one is going to take a
TR-4, and rebody it as an Alpine. Just report what the car is, and what you, or
some previous owner has done to it, and its current configuration. for your
small fee, you'll receive a plaque and rivets which lists the information you
have provided. I think this should be done by anyone who is modifying an Alpine
for whatever reason. If there is interest from other modle owners, like the
IMP, Minx, etc, then maybe other plaques could be done for the same reason.
Thse are NOT to track the Authenticity of these other cars because NO ONE is
going to forg one. These are only for peice of mind to track the modifications
that many people like to do. Howmany Series I, II, III, or IV are running
around with different engine/tranny combination that what the car came with
originally? Lots of you !! Why not document those changes! With these cars,
changing the engines, probably won't degrade the cars value except by those who
want a perfect car, and they already know what they are looking for. If you car
is for sale and someone wants a perfect one, they can look at the plate, and see
what's been done, and they determine if it's reversible or not. They'll see the
plate's contact information, and if they are interested, can have all of the
details on that car faxed directly to them. They then decide if they want the
car or not. There are no questions for Authenticity......All of the cars are
Authentic...Only Tigers have been cloned, and TAC covers that for the most part.
