[Tigers] 6-figure Tigers

[Tom Witt]

Yet a rather decent (and the only recent) Tiger just sold for only $55,000 
on Ebay.  There are thirteen sub - $85,000 Tigers that were "Completed 
Listing's" that didn't  sell. Of those thirteen there were four that didn't 
sell and they were under $50,000 three near the $35,000 range.  So, if every 
really nice Tiger was worth at least $100,000 I'd think the $50,000 and 
under cars would be snapped up, fix up and sold for a tidy profit - and that 
does not seem to be happening.  While it may be nice to see Tigers getting 
respect after languishing for so long the "stated" prices seem to be 
analogous to the Hunt Bros. and the silver market.

In the end if you like your Tiger (and want to keep it) the "what is it 
worth" means nothing.  And with higher selling prices come higher parts 
prices, especially for harder to procure parts.  So, as the saying goes, "Be 
careful what you wish for."  For me I'd rather see the Tiger remain "one of 
the best kept secrets" rather than a speculator's "next great investment."

Russ,

Speaking of six figures, in a recent episode of Jay Leno's Garage, Donald
Osborne went through his procedure for appraising a car.
The example chosen was a MK1A Tiger!  Car was on its second owner and was
the last MK1A produced.
Needless to say it was a very stock example.  Appraisal came to $112K.
