[Tigers] Red Tiger on EBAY

[vegaslegal at aol.com]

A red Tiger is currently on E-Bay as item # 220220182604.? As I look at it, I do not doubt its originality, but have a couple of questions concerning what may be mods on the car or may be original.? I'm curious as to whether it is or is not a variation in construction.? The # on the car indicates that it is an MK1a.

First, there is a data plate on the car.? I understood that MK1a's had rivets and no data plates.? Am I wrong, is this an add-on, or were there variations?

Second, isn't the brake booster the wrong size?

Third, the data plate says "Alpine 260" while the serial plate indicates LRXFE.? Aren't those inconsistent?

Fourth, the dash appears grained.? Weren't the dashes burl?

Fifth, was it these cars that had the plasticized metal ring at the shifter rather than the chrome?

Thanx?
