Mayf,
I asked this in the first post I sent this morning, but will ask it again.
What is your objection to having your car TAC-ed? What I am asking is if three
TAC inspectors were to show up to your door and I were to pay the ten dollar
fee would you turn them away?
What would be lost? It seems that you have everything to gain. Yes, your
Tiger is a real Tiger, you know that. BUT, not everyone does. Not the casual
viewer on the street, not every Tiger enthusiast, not every potential buyer
(someday). Thus, the matter of authenticity is covered to ANY who may question
at any time with your TAC certificate. What is objectionable to that? With the
potential for fraud by others is it not in the best interest of Tigers
everywhere to be counted as authenticated?
Just because the general public has taken to accepting the TAC-ed car as a
standard doesn't mean that TAC-ing is the villain. Really your complaint
should be with the public at large (which of course would include Tiger
owners) for electing to use the TAC standard. In life we all have to give up
some freedoms for the general good. When comparing TAC to no standard for
authenticating a Tiger TAC-ing seems like the far lesser evil.
In summary a group of ernst volunteers has set to prevent fraud (via TAC-ing)
of a significant collectible. The people at large (small a group as that my
be, but, in some way connected with the Sunbeam Tiger) have adopted the
standard of TAC. You dislike the adaptation of TAC by the people
because............ ?
Mayf I have appreciated the input you have given this list and me personally.
However, on this point I can not seem to see the cause of the position you
have taken.
