Can anyone tell me a little it about why this car is being sold as a conversion (Alger)? It sure looks to have all the correct Tiger bits and pieces, so what is it about the car that has "doomed" it

I'm not sure of the specifics of "what" caused this car to be outed.. but it apparently was accepted as a Tiger and won some awards for the quality of workmanship on it.. before it was either discov

Absent a TAC inspection we probably can't determine its origin. The one thing that stands out is the serial number. The 10 digit number is in the Tiger 1966 range, but the plate says its right hand

Steve and Mike- to the best of my memory, which is not anything dependable, it seems the original ALGER tag was attached from information from Norm and his collection of information. I may be wrong,

I asked the seller a question pertaining to the VIN plate being from a MKIA on what he calls a "conversion". He said the decision was made when the car was restored to use the MKIA VIN plate. So how

Going back to a previous thread, does that mean he switched VIN plates with another car? Tom (If the plate's correct, he did "convert" the car... from right hand drive to left hand drive.) __________

I see one item that is out of character for a true Mk1a tiger. The interior door panels are a hybrid. Mk1a's are supposed to have a deluxe door panel the same as a GT Alpine The deluxe panel has a co

The dealer has confirmed that the VIN plate has been switched, though he described switching VIN plates to me as a "grey area" for older cars. The dealer has also described it as a conversion. From w
