[Tigers] Value Debate / quandary

[Steinman, Bill]

Well said.  And three cheers for originality.  My Tiger was mostly stock when I bought her, save for an edelbrock carb in place of the holley, the oil filter moved to under the left wheel well (I assume that's not original, right?), missing the side trim, outrageously loud three-inch flow-through exhaust, after-market (but natty and period correct) Cosmic wheels, no bumper over-riders, horrible carpet, and a modern fuel pump.  Well, Max is now clad with LAT-70s, has side trim and over-riders, and half the carpet kit is in.   An SU pump is in the box ready for install.  I'm keeping the Edelbrok carb and just love the sound of that exhaust too much to change it. 

I always wanted a Tiger, and never seriously considered one because I assumed the prices were beyond reach.  I was delighted to find that I could afford one, and it is such a joy!

Obviously we all love our Tigers and I have not come across any Tiger
owner whose intention is to keep the car stashed away to preserve the
future value (though I have precious little time to use my car as I'd
like to). The only reason the value issue pops up, is that we Tiger
owners simply can't understand why so many other "car guys" don't want
Tigers every bit as much (which would correspindingly drive values
through the roof), so we theorize about what in the world is it, that
those other folks just don't get about our fine little cars. 

If you want to talk about some really under appreciated (and
undervalued) cars, take a look at our car's factory siblings, the
Jensen Interceptor and Jensen Healey. I still have my Interceptor, but
had to sell the JH (and my Alpine project car) when we recently moved.
