Subject: [Tigers] A Tiger at last


I wrote this up yesterday morning but it seems to have been lost in 
cyberspace.

After searching for a car for months I now have one. At least I will when 
the truck delivers it next week. I purchased #B9473720 LROFE from Carroll 
Eeds last Sunday. I would like to say a big thanks to Andy Walker who put 
Carroll and I in touch. Also to Patrick King and Mike Laurence who looked at 
pictures to help advise me and most of all to Norm Miller who has been 
patient and willing to take time to share info on every car I asked him 
about.

This car being an LRO car was most certainly originally sold in Europe 
carrying Alpine 260 badges and Alpine script. I've said a few times that my 
interest is in staying completely stock. It has the Alpine 260 badges. We'll 
see how serious I am. It will be hard to remove the Tiger script on it now 
and replace with Alpine but I think I can do it.

How ironic after allthe effort to learn about and avoid Algers to finally 
end up with a factory built Tiger that properly should wear Alpine script.

I hope I can manage to do as well with the car as Carroll has for the 34 
years he's owned it. Heres a couple pictures.....
