I am new to the TigerNet (about a month) and am currently looking for a car to buy. I have never owned a Tiger before and wanted some opinions about a Tiger vs. Alpine Conversion. I understand and a

Buy the Alpine. Enjoy it. If the Alpine has the Tiger Monicker/Moniker on it, I would take it off. It's not a Tiger, it's an Alpine with a Kick-Butt motor in it. I don't like the AC Cobra replicas ei

The problem of the Alger being sold off as a Tiger never seems to happen with either the person who makes the conversion or the first buyer.... The probelem seems to happen after a the Alger goes th

You want a hot rod. Buy a hot rod. If your "investment" is for your own pleasure, alone, enjoy it. But remember, an Alpine can be purchased for $300 and a lot of parts thrown on to make a "rod". Thi

Very good observations and the last part about reputation are words to live by. In case I didn't make it clear in my original letter, the Alpine V8 already has Tiger emblems on it, but is registered

If you decide to go for the Tiger, go through the "Register" or get a car that is Tac'ed so you'll at least be relatively sure you're buying the real thing. Mark L.

Good idea. Don't buy a car if you don't know the background, even if it's a real Tiger. A "Spridget" is the name given to the Austin-Healy Sprite and teh MG Midget, which were the same car with diff

A Sprite or a Midget. An Austin Sprite or an MG Midget. Engine sizes ranged from a small 870cc (I think) "A" series 4 banger in the bugeye Sprite circa '57 to a 1275 cc Motor in the 70's. The Bugeye
