Here=E2=80=99s my 2 cents worth: I doubt a $55K Tiger would perform =
there in a way that would thrill most Tiger owners. Some in the Ap/Bp =
class spend over $50K for one competitive legal 289 SFB race engine. =
(not me) (And it=E2=80=99s always nice to have a spare.)=20
=20
This =E2=80=9CBp=E2=80=9D class is for production cars. In the past the =
Monster has been allowed to run in it. Other prototypes have run in it =
as well when their performance matches the =E2=80=9CBp=E2=80=9D class =
better than those in the official prototype class. But that was in the =
past. I have no idea what the future will be with the new changes at =
Laguna Seca.

Ah, no. That was not my point. One of the commenters was saying that =
he could easily buy a Monterey race ready Tiger for half of the current =
bid. It seemed he was questioning whether the extra cost is worth it =
for this car=E2=80=99s history.

I haven't seen this mentioned here. So I thought I'd bring it up:

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1966-sunbeam-tiger-race-car/
=20
I note that one of the commenters says that for $55,000 someone can buy =
a Monterey race ready Tiger. I know that some race cars from 60s sports =
cars are less than their high end car show brothers. But $55?
=20
We're restoring a 1962 Elva MkVI right now with full sights on Monterey. =
So both historically accurate, immaculate as can be, but 100% full race =
ready - every part as strong and straight as should be. I find it hard =
to believe a Tiger in comparable condition would be $55,000.
