The 1967 (Mk II) Tigers had an alternator, not a generator, and did not need
the "dent" in the right side inner fender since the alternator was smaller.
But if this is a Mk II Tiger, where is the eggcrate grill, the oil cooler,
etc. Also the Mk II Tigers had the fuel pump in the "Alpine Spare tire
well" so if this Tiger has the spare in the Alpine well, where's the fuel
pump?
Bottom line: Caveat Emptor! (I think I spelled that correctly, but I have
never taken any Latin classes)
Keep on Tigering!

On the "1967" Red Tiger B382100395,
- The spare tire is in the "alpine" orientation
- There are no welded tabs in the Trunk for the Battery hold down
- Vin plate looks reproduction
- Do not see any welded tabs in the Engine compartment for a Radiator
Filler/Expansion tank
- No factory dent in the driver wheel well where the Generator would be
Definitely does not appear to be a real tiger to me.

Listers,
Anyone know what's going on with those ebay Tigers? One listed with a MK 2
VIN #( Shelby Number???) but with Mk 1a configuration. Wasn't this one
offered for sale earlier by Kraus? Another is a MK1a with a spec plate(?)
but sure does seem to be loaded with Lat options. And a Red Mk 1 that's been
modified like crazy. Anyone checked these out? Has Norm seem them?
Jim
