As long as you don't think _I_ thought you did. Yeah, I wasn't there
either (11 years old when production _ended_) and what I've read didn't give
a clear explanation. "Dealer options"? "Importer options"? I wouldn't be
surprised if this was handled differently at different dealers. One might
inventory the cars, ahem, "stock", and add on whatever the buyer wanted at
time of purchase. Another might "pack" the car with goodies up front; go to
a dealer today, and I'll bet there are few cars on the lot they haven't at
least added floor mats to, just to increase the final $$$ some.
My wondering mind asks: gee, if a dealer loaded a Tiger with
everything (excepting "race-only" LAT stuff) in TBON, both the Rootes stuff
and the LAT stuff, how far above the $3499 would the car have cost?
