Indeed my E-type has a mis-formed rear tail-light fixture, and the body
was whacked to conform to the shape of the fixture rather than the
builder grabbing another off the shelf. And it's a 99 point concours car.
But the story of Jensen whacking Alpine tranny tunnels has long been
discredited. I think the story of Lord Rootes test driving the Tiger
with the handbrake on has also been written off.
To put my two bits in on the "value" thread, I own a lot of cars, but my
totally stock Tiger is by far my favorite and it would be the last car I
would sell. I couldn't care less what it's worth to someone else.
