My Tiger MK1a (B382000217LRXFE) is white (color code 92) and has the red
interior.  Is red very rare?

Have Fun,
Joe Brown

Wow, you guys are brutal.? Having gone through, and currently going through,
a lot of stuff on a similar car, its a pretty good job, albeit over priced
(but I like that if it sells).

It is pretty clear to me that what you are looking at is a car that was
picked-up by the restorer after someone had already done (attempted) an
interior restoration.? While the interior is somewhat dirty, in?comparison
with the rest of the car the seats, carpet, dash, and soft pieces?all appear
new.??Indicative of this further are the fact that the lower door pulls were
not reinstalled with the new interior (before pictures)?and the center
counsel cover is not an original configuration.

I also suspect that the interior was originally red.? Pointedly, the red
interior cars that keep popping up are all?Color Code 1 (black)?MK1a's.?
>From the time I got mine I have been told that there were no such cars, then
someone advertised that their's was the only one, then another and
another?showed up, then there's mine.? All are Code 1.

The bumper problem results from misinstalled bracket spacers.? An easy fix.

As to the mileage being original, if that car was driven through three
winters in its climate that is exactly how the engine bay and the balance of
the car would look after forty years and 25k.? Its also exactly how it would
look after forty years and 125k.? Considering the rust through, etc., the
"original" mileage is not that important on that car anyway.

IMHO
