Good points all the way around.
Personally I am glad that I had my car TAC'ed during TU in Big Bear. It
eased my mind....which ain't your mind.
Despite all of the assurances from experts I trust way down south here I was
still concerned that I just might have an Alger on my hands....and that I
had paid too much. Not only are these folks experts in many sense of the
word, but they knew the history and lineage of the beast; but I still was
concerned.
TAC is a good service which does not cost much. Besides, if I croak now, my
spouse now has the documentation that my car is most probably a "real"
Tiger. I'm happy.

Hey Guys!
I've been lurking for quite a while now, but I just can't keep quiet any
longer! How about those guys who want to pursue the "to TAC or not to TAC"
question and the morality of revealing that a car may not be traceable back
to the "one true Tiger" do so somewhere else? This last missive about
pondering the meaining of TAC 7 miles above the earth is more than my
stomach can stand. Some people are taking themselves way to seriously here!
I can tell you that, if I was pondering dropping serious money in order to
get an honest-to-god Mark II Tiger, I wouldn't depend only on the word of a
self-sanctioned committee who got together and said "We're the experts
because we say we are experts and after all, we are the experts." I would
be pretty confident that if they told me it was a fake, it would indeed be a
fake. But that ain't near enough. Anybody who would drop 30 large on the
strength of a TAC certification would be fair game for any serious con
artist worth his salt! Having a car TAC's is a clear no-win proposition.
You either find out that it definitely is a fake, or maybe it isn't. Such a
deal!
