That is not an Alger. It is a an Alpine with an engine transplant.

An Alger is an Alpine body with all the parts made to look exactly like a Tiger.  When being sold it is advertized as  a Tiger, 
Ask the owner what he has and he answers Tiger.

That is an Alger and the reason they are held in low esteem by Tiger owners.  The essence of Alger is intent to deceive.
Rootes did us no favors with the weak VIN identification elements on Alpines and Tigers.
