I think what matters is what kind of car it is day 1 and not day 2. From
there it is a modified whatever it was day 1 whether people like or dislike
what was done. -- Bill --
Wow....that's a pretty interesting idea, that the removal of 8 inches of
metal off the under hood side of the car completely changes its
identity. Not sure I agree with that. I agree that a person could take
enough away that eventually you wouldn't have a Tiger....like an extreme
case is carrying around a VIN plate in your pocket doesn't mean you're a
Tiger owner, but I would think it would take more than the
aforementioned firewall modifications. The HSC Tiger has a lot more
modification than that, 5 lug, engine bay ventilation cutouts, modified
windshield, power increases.....and I consider it very much a Tiger.
Just because a famous race car builder/driver in history made the
modifications shouldn't mean he's exempt from the concept under
discussion.
Interesting, well that's the good part about this interest...everyone is
entitled to their own thoughts on the matter....

What you say is true. And when you are done you don't have a Sunbeam
Tiger any more and don't have to find original bits. Makes it
