Jim,
The e-mail mouse ate the rest of my message, which went on to claim that
the Tiger, itself, fits all of those definitions. It is both neat and
trim. It is stylish, but not excessively spruce (only the dash). My MG,
and the Morgan, are MOSTLY spruce, with a light metal covering. It is
both alert and lively in performance. Why couldn't you find it, it was
right in front of your nose.
