[Tigers] EBay air cleaner

[Dave Munroe]

This is perhaps a good sign for current Tiger owners: not necessarily for 
someone with a modest wallet who wants one.

In my experience, when original components of collector vehicles begin 
selling for astronomical prices, it is a sign that fat-wallet investors, not 
necessarily enthusiast collectors, see the possibility of an imminent and 
substantial increase in the value of the marque. They may also believe the 
supply of original parts is drying up. It matters not to these folks what 
anything costs, if the car they own or are having restored needs an original 
part, they will pay whatever it takes to obtain it.

It is the natural evolution of a collector vehicle's value perceived by 
those outside the enthusiast group. The sign is that point when the value of 
the individual parts exceeds the sum of those parts.
