Thank you to those who have responded to both the Database and the =
website. To clarify some misunderstanding:
I have been a member of the Tiger list for sometime and just recently =
joined the Alpine list. I have taken a personal interest in putting =
together a Alpine/Alger database and have no intent of any wrong doing =
with the information. Don't feel that you have to give all contact =
information. In fact it may be better to just include your State and =
Email for security. I am open to suggestions on how to make the database =
and website better and hope it will be something that will be useful for =
Sunbeam enthusiast.=20
The following was a message I sent to the Tiger list a few days ago:
I applaud you Steve and Jeff for taking their stand. It is about time =
that we the "Alger" owners get recognition for our efforts. I would like =
to hear from all of the self converted Alpine owners. I think we should =
stand up and be counted. I will someday own a Tiger of my own but until =
that time I enjoy my Alpine/Alger. It makes no difference what engine or =
what body modifications we have but if we are enjoying ourselves while =
working on or driving our cars. If I spend $10000 or even $20000 to =
build a car it doesn't matter. If I ever put it up for sale it will be =
sold as 1967 Sunbeam Alpine "FAKE TIGER" or "TIGER COPY". It is sad that =
those of us who have the desire to tackle a big job are lashed at =
because of a few bad apples. I do think a registry of all Sunbeams is =
needed. Not for the sole purpose of whose Tiger is real and whose is =
fake but so we can find out what kind of trends were in production as =
well as new trends in restoration or conversion. I have offered before =
to start a database but have had no response by any individuals who are =
interested in participating. This lack of response stumps me sue to the =
number of people who also think the database is needed.
