- The 'value' of Mk1's vs. Mk1A's is probably in the other direction, if you
ask anyone that does have a preference. Mk1A's (and Mk2's) were built with
more of an eye to production cost compared to Mk1's, which is why they don't
have round corners and leaded seams.
- On the surface, $26k seems like a good deal for a clean, mostly-complete,
running Tiger. There are probably a few things that need doing, and for the
people that want them, the missing parts are going to cost some dough. If you
go out to get a proper AC air cleaner and LAT70 wheels and new tires, then
you'll be in for about $3k more.
- Restoration is not a money making venture, at least not for the car owner,
unless they are also the body shop and can get wholesale rates for everything.
Buying the best chassis you can afford is always the key. Since it costs the
same to do bodywork and get trim parts for an Alpine or a Tiger, you have to
love your Alpine about twice as much to justify doing it from a dollars point
of view.
- Tiger values and future outlook? Cars aren't stocks.

some are.. That is why I bought Crossfire SRT6 rdstr for 25k.
They perform well on street and in money gain.Very small supply and demand
is growing. Gary B9472283
