I just saw a summary of the recent Monterey auction results.  Russo and
Steele sold a '67 Tiger Mk 2 for... get ready for this... $181.5K.  Anybody
know about this car, why it was worth that much to anybody?

I always wondered if these auctions featured an "open bar" for bidders, but
now I'm beginning to wonder about certain controlled substances...

Stu it was a very nice white mkii that had been expertly restored a few
years back and remained in a collection, probably a nice tiger than the
green mkii that went for 230=C2=B1 last year.

I heard the hammer price was 165, I guess plus fees?

According to their website, Mecum also sold a green Mk1A for $100K.  It did appear to be of a very nice driver quality, though not a concours resto.  It came with LAT 70s and a LAT hood, but I can't remember if it had a hardtop with it.

Yes it did have a black hardtop.  I thought it was pretty close to an 
average Tigers United Concours entry.  Shiny BRG, but not a particularly 
clean example.  The booster was missing and the vacuum line was there 
with a plastic cap on it.  Starting to look like it's time to raise the 
insurance limit on our "drivers".

Hey, Tom:

With regards to raising the coverage on our Tigers...I just did this morning!!!!!  Of course, I've just finished that huge project on mine and it needed to be raised anyway.  It does appear that Tigers are finally becoming seriously collectible, which is a double-edged sword of sorts, I suppose.  I'm just glad I've got mine!!!

BTW...the car in question appeared to still be wearing its original paint under the hood.  It looked to me like the shade of green on the body was a bit lighter than what was in the engine compartment.  It also had an aftermarket steering wheel and, from what I could tell, an incorrect amp gauge, too.  Considering all of this, I was pretty surprised to see it bring that kind of money.

Problem is those of us that bought our cars to restore are now seeing ou=
r budgets getting blown out of the water. I did build in extra for unfor=
eseen costs but the price of some parts are now double and sometimes tri=
ple what they should be. My Tiger may be sitting longer for completion t=
hen I thought and that is a shame. This keeps up I will be priced out of=
 the restoration and may have to sell. It's great the Tiger is getting t=
he recognition it deserves but those of us who do not have deep pockets =
are going to be pushed out by investors who have those pockets and reall=
y only care about turning the profit.   TimB9470149

Tim,

Some nos and rare second hand parts are getting very pricey, but the upside
is that as the cars rise in value people are more prepared to reproduce NLA
parts... Double edge sword....

Tim: 

Good point.and that's exactly what I meant by the "double-edged sword"
comment.  I've owned Tigers since 1979; my current car (my fourth Tiger) has
been under my ownership since 1995.  Suffice it to say that had I bought one
recently to restore, I would certainly be in the same position which you
describe.  The way it worked out, however, I bought mine when they were
still pretty reasonable (twenty years ago), so I found myself in a pretty
good position to spend a little money recently on its freshening.  In
addition, I have also been collecting parts for the last twenty years with
an eye toward doing what I've just done to my car.  Hang in there.there are
still deals to be had and folks who will help you out toward your goal.  

Up until recently, the Tiger has always enjoyed the status of a wonderful
"enthusiast's car."  Now, however, the prices have gotten to the point where
the speculators are getting interested.  I suppose it's the natural
progression of the market for cars like ours.  We'll just have to sit back
and see what happens; it's truly out of our hands at this point.

Problem is those of us that bought our cars to restore are now seeing our
budgets getting blown out of the water. I did build in extra for unforeseen
costs but the price of some parts are now double and sometimes triple what
they should be. My Tiger may be sitting longer for completion then I thought
and that is a shame. This keeps up I will be priced out of the restoration
and may have to sell. It's great the Tiger is getting the recognition it
deserves but those of us who do not have deep pockets are going to be pushed
out by investors who have those pockets and really only care about turning
the profit.

Hey, Tom:

With regards to raising the coverage on our Tigers...I just did this
morning!!!!!  Of course, I've just finished that huge project on mine and it
needed to be raised anyway.  It does appear that Tigers are finally becoming
seriously collectible, which is a double-edged sword of sorts, I suppose.
I'm just glad I've got mine!!!

gauge, too.  Considering all of this, I was pretty surprised to see it bring
that kind of money.

It came with LAT 70s and a LAT hood, but I can't remember if it had a
hardtop with it.
