Listers,
This is the response from Central Valley Classics regarding the Tiger that
they have for sale.

Mark,
You are looking at a very interesting car. This car comes with the #'s
matching engine, transmission and rear end. The car currently has a built 289
with a
close ratio top loader 4 spd and a narrowed 9" with a mini spool locker and
rear disc brakes. This car is very well documented with complete photos of
before during and of course after complete restoration, the owner claims it to
be
the real deal. This car also has won the best Tiger at one of the West coast
events right after it's restoration.
Now when this car first came to us there was a local gentelman, Sean Ford
that wanted to buy this car. He was making very low offers to purchase and
became
upset when he couldn't afford it so he went to the "Guru" (Norman C Miller)
to get this car dubbed a fake so no one would buy it. I guess he figured that
if he couldn't have it, he would make it extremely difficult for the owner to
sell it. To my knowledge, Norman C. Miller has not been in our showroom to see
the car and he has ignored emails that I have sent him regarding this car. The
only responses recieved where from Sean Ford and he of course is still bitter
about not getting this car.
I don't know if the car is a real Tiger or not, I only rely on the
information of the owner and I think that a fake would not be documented as
well as this
one. I also do not authenticate cars as this can become a conflict of
interest issue as we present these cars for sale. I can tell you this is a
beautiful
car and would make a nice addition to any garage.
I am not including the VIN # as you would only get the fake response from
Rootes1.com.
Regards,
John B.
