This aligns with my perspective on how to control the
fake Tiger problem... if someone would publish a
pamphlet "How to spot a Tiger" that pictured ALL the
key elements... then people would be best protected
from these "easy to spot" frauds, or at least make
their own assesment. The two red cars now on eBay are
certainly easy targets for suspicion.
I don't believe there are very many Algers that go to
the trouble to get all the details right, and if they
do... it would likely cost more than it would have to
just have started with a real Tiger. Plus, the TAC
guys might even be fooled, and if so, then who would
ever know or care??? If there is some fool proof way
to validate... make it public knowledge.

nature of the cars currently for sale on Ebay apparent
to all but the most gullible buyer.
