Steve...
What are you suspicious about exactly?
No, it doesn't have 'tie-downs' and we all know what it looks like...but it
HAS been TAC'ed .... and I only know of one car that was TAC'ed and turned
out it wasn't quite what it was supposed to be... Geez... I saw a Tiger with
a complete Alpine front half TAC'ed at TUXXX
What exactly is the argument here ??

Jim,
See who actually signed the TAC certificate. It is ON the certificate.
Norman's web site also contains a list of certified and assigned TAC
numbers:

I am getting very suspicious due to your statement about "spare tire tie
downs". The Tiger does not have "tie-downs". Here I am envisioning a
leather set of belts to hold the spare against the froward end of the
trunk to tie it down vertically in the convenient well (not used in a
Tiger). The Tiger design fits on the floor atop a welded stamped bell
with an in-caged nut, and held with a center hole fitting plate and
bolted to the floor mount.
The Alpine mounted the tire vertically at the front of the trunk
compartment.
Here are some Pics of Denis Mercier's Mk IA spare tire mounted.
