TAC,

I believe in the TAC program, i think it encourgaes people to restore the
cars without rebodying.. there is a lot of ways you can probably dodge it
bit not many people know enough about the small details of the manufacturing
process.. so overall I think that it helps keep tigers as tigers.

As for how modified/repaired a tiger can be.. truth is.. very.. floors,
sills etc dont really effect it.. what they are looking for is METHODOLOGY.
Is the car inquestion showing signs of the methods used to make a Tiger?

You can be missing some asspects of a TAC inspection.. but the others will
show the car has traces left from the Jensen line.. these are the things
that differenciate a tiger body from an alpine.. you can make these marks in
an alpine body.. but the techniques the factory used also leave a mark..
hence the ability to ID them from recent work.
