You ask a great question; how accurately were these cars built back =
then???
=20
Today=E2=80=99s vehicles have a tolerance of + or- 3mm =3D + or =
=E2=80=93 1/8=E2=80=9D tolerance.
=20
Since many of the Sunbeam Tiger history books imply there was always =
careful inspection of all aspect of the Tiger build and since Rootes =
controlled the assembly of the body frame unit; I=E2=80=99m going to say =
the tolerance was probably similar. Anything larger then that would =
leave you with a car that could be difficult to assemble or adjust to =
manufactures specifications.
=20
That=E2=80=99s how I see it.
