[Tigers] 'the new Cobra'

[rande]

Hi,

Frankly, Jerry, just let us know when the Cobra becomes the next Tiger, because
only then will I be able to afford something I've wanted for 45 years, a leaf
spring Cobra Series 2.

As for someone walking up to us at a petrol station, and asking if the Tiger
is a real one, that is a bit of compliment, because they would have to have
learned enough about what a Tiger is, and that there are fakes.

My problem with Algers is three-fold. There's the honesty(not owning up) factor,
there's the 'it's not a real Tiger' factor, and finally, someone changed over
a perfectly nice Alpine IV or V, which are gradually climbing in value on their
own and are pretty neat cars as they stand.

I feel the same way about the 'continuation' saga with Shelby and the 'found'
sixties V.I.N. plates. I think the blame is one part Shelby, one part the motoring
press, but to some people it managed to taint the reputation of two companies
that otherwise have done good work. It's all about being completely upfront
about what you have.
