Steve, I hope I made clear that I know they are Tigers, I was just kinda
poking fun at our discussions about "when a Tiger is a Tiger"....not only is
your car a Tiger, it's a rare Tiger, 1 of only 10....I agree, that's my
situation as well....need to convince my ego to put the Alpine badges on
it...but here is the good news...the pin mounts on the alpine scripts and the
Tiger scripts are in the same place....you can change from script to script
without hurting the paint! I have both scripts in my possession, Tiger and
Alpine....still trying to decide which ones to run on the car....probably
helped all the Alger builders out there in swapping badges so easy.

Subject: Re: [Tigers] Confused
Per recent discussion with Norm, 10 Alpine 260's are in the USA.
They are as Tiger as any Tiger but were sold with Alpine script
rather than Tiger script on the fenders because of copyright issues.
If you read the spec plate on all Tigers that carry one all the
cars are called Alpine 260's. The Alpine 260's also carry
a Tiger chassis number not an Alpine chassis number
The few that were sold in Germany and France carry ONLY the Alpine 260
name. My Alpine 260 now also wears TAC sticker #695. A PO removed the
Alpine script and replaced it with Tiger. Someday, I'll convince my ego
and my wife to change it back.
