I don't want to pass judgment on this particular Tiger but I agree with what
TtT said. However, I would like to let people know that I have lost vin
plates and replaced Vin plates in California, and Utah. Both times I just
told them the VIN number I wanted to register and it was no problem, I did
have the paperwork in one case and just a believable story in the other
(fire). They went out to look at the replaced vin plate and that was that.
I was NEVER questioned about screws, rivets, bubble gum adhesive, VIN plate
originality etc. I keep hearing people mention that they know someone that
knows someone that had their car sent to the crusher. Maybe it happened, I
don't know and don't claim to know. I just know that I have done it several
times without a single problem.
I'm sure there are places that it can't be done but there are also many
places that it can be done.
Maybe it's just good clean livin.
FWIW, Lynn

Jim I thought the best part was the frame off restoration and the Tiger
history lesson he gave to go with the car. Lots of things wrong- small
stuff,
like side moulding, dash, no cubby light and a tach hanging down- guess the
stock one doesnt work. It also states the LOST vin was replaced after
someone
in the Tiger community provided paper work it was the car matching the given
vin while using the numbers from the rearend and tranny to backup their
claim.
I didnt see a pic of the Georiga provided VIN plate but find it unusual a
car
is issued a VIN plate replacing the lost one. I was told that couldnt be
done
as it had been discussed many times and once the VIN plate is lost you are
just screwed. Very curious how this was managed. It is nice and black with
inormation that seems like they are trying to convince someone what they say
is true. IMO of course.

I'm looking at a Tiger on e-bay.

180462584756QQptZUSQ5fCarsQ5fTrucks
or item# 180462584756 if the link doesn't work.
The ad states it has an 'original factory production patent plate' from
Pressed Steel and a link to a pic.

Has anybody ever heard of such a thing? Or am I totally out of the loop
here??
