I guess CM is looking at fully restored prices/costs, in which case we are
talking 75k for a tiger (unless you do the work yourself). Which would be the
relevant basis for comparing on an apples to apples basis to other cars they
talk about like a 300SL, etc, i doubt anyone buying something at that end of
the spectrum did their own wrenching to restore....

They broke down the cars selected into price ranges. The photo on the contents
page sort of gave it away that the Tiger would be selected. I was, however
pretty suprised when I saw that CM had placed it in the 75K-100K category,
right along side the E type and XK Jags and up one category from the 63-67
Corvettes (50-75k).
