Good information Mike, thanks.
I don't want to get into this debate, there are good people on all sides, but
do feel that Algers should be
marked with some sort of permanent tag as an Alpine with a V8.
Personally if I owned one I'd remove the Tiger badge, and badge it an Alpine
V8.
Folks who collect US cents might draw an analogy to the rarest US cent -
1799.
Second in fun to selling rare worn examples at high prices is displaying
extraordinary counterfeits made
through the last 2 centuries that can fool all but the experts...
Similar to a Tiger getting TAC'd, a 1799 also can get authenticated...and a
counterfeit also can get "authenticated."
Just my 0.02$ worth...

money than you paid for your Tiger....and you wouldnt have any work or expense
restoring it....it would feel EXACTLY the same going down the road. I think
it will sell for close to 20k as it is a nice example.....Typically an Alger
is about 1/2 in selling price than an original car....this ebay listing shows
that when they are sold most owners wil say what it is....I never plan to sell
mine, it will pass on to my daughter and then her child one day....but I have
instructed her that if it is ever sold for some reason that it is a clone and
not a factory v8 car. Also I personally informed Norm with my vin as an Alger
years ago when I started the project. Just because a clone car has Tiger
badges and vin does not mean it will be sold frauduantly.... mike Schreiner
