and what if it was the Tiger VIN plate attached with the original rivets to
the original tiger sheet metal and the rest of the body was fron an Alpine.
Is it now a restored Tiger? Where is the line between restoration &
counterfit? Many (most?) Tigers have been repaired with Alpine sheet metal,
are these "conversions?" Is fraud involved? Is an Alpine with Tiger engine,
suspention, etc still an Alpine? If you sold it as an Alpine wouldn't that
be fraud? I see lots of questions, but the answers seem to be more personal
opinion than fact.
