148K for a Tiger

[stephen jones <joness@wsu.edu>]

At the RM auction this weekend in Monterey  one of  the Le Mans Tigers,
#9,  went for $148,500.  Bidding seemed to be rather brisk for everything.
To put it in perspective a 65 Triumph Herald convertible went for over 15K.
 The 410 Ferrari went for over 3.8M.  The regular Tigers in the catalog
were not listed in the sale, at least one was withdrawn prior to sale after
a person with considerable  knowledge questioned its authenticity.
