A cloned Alger is where someone starts with a Husky chassis.
More seriously... I regard an Alpine with a small-block Ford engine swap
(retaining its Alpine VIN) as a straight-up Alger, an "authentic" Tiger
clone if you will. There's only a problem when the resulting car gets
legally titled as a Tiger. Bigger issues arise when a Tiger gets
"restored" by attaching the Tiger specific sheetmetal (including the
VIN) onto an Alpine bodyshell. The moral and legal problems with this
have been thrashed out fairly thoroughly in the past...
