[Tigers] Hidden Gem?

[garywinblad at comcast.net]

You guys had me curious so I took a look.
YES, it looks Tiger/Alpine to me.
I agree with Jay, it is just a very shiny Tiger/Alpine.
The square mirror would make it a MK1 (like mine) or a Series IV.
You can see it has the original steering wheel and horn ring too.
I don't see how you can see it looks lowered though...
