On alt.conspiracy it is said the author had an unfortunate accident. They
found him slumped over the wheel of his Tiger with a rivet in the head and a
rivet gun in his hand (what's odd is the gun was in his left hand and he was
right handed). Suicide, maybe? Rumor has it, the rivet was an extremely rare
type used only to attach vin plates on cars built by Rootes.

The Tiger list has once again been running rampant with this controversy.
What are the differences between Jensen-built Tigers and the mundane Alpines?
Why isn't this information generally available? Who is covering up - and why?
I always get a kick out of following this flap.
The other day I received e-mail asking for a copy of an old newsletter from
the Sunbeam Owners Group of San Diego that was supposed to have had an
analysis of the differences. Today, I received a phone call insisting that
such an article was published. I went to the archives - voila! - way back in
April 1995 it was there: reprinted from an internet posting.
The author of the item was "unknown%unknown.unknown(at)aurora.intel.com". Wow,
does this sound like deep undercover stuff or what?
The primer lists 20-30 obscure production differences between the Tiger and
Alpine bodies - no mention is made of number of engine cylinders, types of
transmissions, differentials or instrumentation. The steering mechanics are
not described. These are the itsy-bitsy details that a counterfeiter couldn't
bother with unless he was the type to trip over dollars to pick up dimes.
Members of the Sunbeam Owners Group of San Diego have had this information at
their fingertips for nearly three years.
Now - for a limited time only - a copy of this secret information will be
provided FREE! with all new memberships.
Your dues of $20 US per year will get you a one year subscription to the
exciting monthly publication and entitle you to participation in many exciting
events such as the March 8th Lobster Run from San Diego, California to Puerto
Nuevo, Mexico.
Interested? Drop me an e-mail and I'll give you the details.
