First, this is not the original owner of the business. After talking to Norm
the "Best Tiger" award was taken away after the was inspected by the GURU and
several others. Finally, two weeks after confirming the difficulties with this
car being a conversion, I paid cash in the amount of $24,000.00 for B9471382
after Norm suggested I look at my current Tiger.
The current dealer informed me that anybody that was stupid enough to buy a
fake was fair game.
No jealousy here, I've got the real thing and he's got squat.
A little more history on the car. It was purchased from a student at Fresno
State by a Doctor and fully gone through at great expense. When the restoration
was completed the car was shown and won best Tiger, only to be disqualified.
When I talked to the Doctor he indicated that if you can get the parts and
build it what difference does it make. I told him that I had a Cobra kit car I
would trade him and he indicated that kit cars weren't worth anything. My
response, "That's exactly the point."
I made no offer, I have and had the money and the letter you received from
John is based not on his personnel experience, I've never met the man. Take it
for what it's worth but I was there and those that disqualified the car can
attest that about 6 inches of the whole car are Tiger.
I do believe the Doctor that did the restoration was a victim and then bailed
on the whole thing.
Go to Norm's site and look at the notorious fakes!
Thanks for copying me on John's response
Dr. Sean Ford, Ph.D.
AKA DR Moonstone
P.S. I've got the money right now to pay cash for the fake if I wanted a
fake, I don't and this type of crap from those that worship money above honesty
hurts every one of us and the values of true Tigers.
