Actually, he made the second, if you want to look at it that 
way.  Ian paid Ken Miles to build the first, and they drove it from 
LA to San Francisco and back to test the concept before the Shelby 
prototype was completed.  But I really think we should reserve the 
term "Alger" for the creations that have occurred since the end of 
Tiger production, because of the value differentials with the 
Alpine.  The prototypes certainly deserve more respect.
