My apology to anyone in the TAC community if my words appeared to 
misrepresented the group.

>>>In the end it could be possible that they may not issue a TAC sticker yet 
>>>not define the car as an "Alger."<<<

  I did not intend to imply that TAC declared cars as Algers. I was merely 
trying to differentiate a real Tiger that might not show enough evidence (if 
even possible) to receive a TAC sticker from an Alpine with Tiger parts that 
is commonly known by the term "Alger."  To that end I had initially used the 
word "declare" in place of "define." On my second read through before I hit 
Send, I changed it to "define" in hopes of not giving the wrong impression.

>>>I believe their primary intention is to disqualify cars that are 
>>>obviously Alpines with transferred Tiger parts.<<<

In the same way the inverse of  "disqualify cars that are obviously Alpines 
with transferred Tiger parts" means that only Tigers received the TAC 
sticker.

We all have different ways of saying the same thing.  I'm married. Ask the 
man who knows. :-)

    I believe their primary intention is to disqualify cars that are 
obviously Alpines with transferred Tiger parts. In the end it could be 
possible that they may not issue a TAC sticker yet not define the car as an 
"Alger."

  For the umpteenth time, No one in the TAC community ever labels anything 
with it's certification other than Tigers.  The failing of a TAC inspection 
in no way brands the vehicle as an "Alger" or any other "thing".  There are 
other considerations, but body panels, floor panels, etc. are not normally 
reasons for TAC rejection.  Be aware that attempting to convert an early 
Tiger into a MkII for its potential increase in value, is also not viewed as 
an appropriate "repair".
