Tigers,
A plea from an ex-Tiger owner, and an interesting story about the Tiger
name. Without the VIN this is difficult, but who knows? Someone may have
knowledge that might help. Please do not send him references about
Alpers, as this is not what he is looking for. Help our US Embassy
personnel, if you have any information. Send it to the Ken Knorr's CC:
above. This has got to be a rare car amongst the 500 rare Mk II's.
