>From looking at the pictures it appears that the car in question has a custom
built X frame, presumably to replace rotted original components. That doesn't
make it an Alger, nor would the use of X frame components from an Alpine in an
eventual re-restoration (in the absence of wholesale replacement of many other
chassis panels).
Evidently the TAC inspectors were able to confirm enough of the rest of the
bodyshell's construction that it got the TAC certificate. TAC does not imply
that the bodyshell is completely original, just that there is sufficient
evidence that the bodyshell was assembled as a Tiger by Rootes or their
subsidiaries.
