I have personaly seen two "Tiger" that had been "Halved" repaired with an
Alpine donor car...both joined at mid point ....but one (a white one on evbay
a year ago here in Jupiter)...was a tiger from the firewall back, but was
repaired with an Alpine from their forward...It was advertized as a Tiger and
I do a very extensive survey for the winning bidder (He cancelled the
purchase afterward)...and there was another one that was the opposite...tiger
in the front , repaied with an Alpine back half.....So what are they? Algers
or repaired tigers? and which one and why? where do you draw the line? For
years the factory made alpines before Tigers.....so did they make tigers from
Alpines? Mike

"It is being touted as an "ALger" because Norm says so...even tho he has
never
seen it or inspected it....the self appointed expert has declared another car
he has never seen an Alger...he did that years ago to Dr. Steve Jaffe in
Florida....It was a real Tiger as I know the car for many years...Steve still
has it and would like to sell it but can't because Norm labelled it as a
"possible convereson" "
In both cases you mention there is a very easy way to solve the issue of
possible fakery. Have both cars go through a TAC inspection. Norm most
likely has info that both cars can't pass a TAC like inspection. That
explains why he doubts the cars authenticity even though he has never seen
them. In the early 1980's I watched as a Tiger was going through the process
of being "restored". The Tiger was very rusty and the donor Alpine was very
solid and rust free. Many months later, there was a very nice looking Tiger
and a pile of rusted out body parts along with a hacked up Alpine/Tiger
chassis. I have no doubt that the owner was sure he now had a "real" Tiger
and its been a Tiger for many years.
