[Tigers] tiger originality / authenticity

[michael king]

Mauro,

Not all the conversinos are from people trying to pass the cars off as
real.. when they were cheap cars (70's and 80's) it was a more economical
way of repairing them.. swap the parts out, thogh these cars were done
quickly and the owners did not care for the smaller details of a factory
build.. at the time not an issue.. perhaps later if they then sell the car
on without disclosing it as a rebody.

I also have no issue with algers if they are open about what they are..
selling them off as real cars is fraud.. converting one and being open about
it is fine.. I'd hazard a guess that the early conversion done just to keep
the car on the road are quite easy to spot as the owners were more
interested in a V8 engined sports car than an investment.

Now.. converting a car these days and swapping the tiger tags onto it... not
much qustion of what is trying to go on..
