My GOD, man! Don't do it.
Use the car for a collateral loan, sell something else, get a BIG old
American land yacht (they're pretty darned cheap). DO ANYTHING, but
don't give up your Tiger or you will live to regret it.
I sympathize, really. But it sounds like a wonderful car. I only wish
I had the assets to take it off your hands. Sorry to say I do not.
Seriously, try anything else before selling a car you'll never be able
to buy back. (Sorry if I just made you feel worse about the
inevitable.) :-)
