[Tigers] Original vs Restored.

[arado7 at sbcglobal.net]

My Tiger is original  and I keep it that way. Engine performance met my need.
Suspension works.   I used Waxoyl for thirty years. All of my machines are
rust free.I use dot 5 brake fluid. I employ original booster. All lubricants
are Mobil 1. Ignition is electronic. I still have the points. Carburetor is
385CFM  Holley. I still have the 2 barrel and manifold. Interior is
original.   I did a respray in lacquer.   Acquired and reworked a hard top.
Still have the soft top in place. I have enjoyed this car for 27 years.   Gary

This is less about Tigers and Alpines, and more about the debate between
keeping
our cars original(unrestored) versus having them restored.

In the October 7 New York Times Auto section, a reporter  interviewed the
owner
of the Simeone Foundation auto collection in Philadelphia. Dr. Simeone's
raison
d'etre is exhibiting only unrestored cars. His specialty is racing sports
cars,
and amongst the exhibits is the only original Cobra Daytona coupe that hasn't
been restored.

The site for the article is www.nytimes.com  and click on 'autos'.

Also, if you are going to be in Philadelphia tomorrow (Oct.8), the museum
will
hold an auction for cars not part of the museum collection as well as
automobilia,
conducted by Bonhams. Admission to both the auction and the museum is the $30
catalogue, and that admits two people.
The museum site is www.simeonemuseum.org  and information about the cars in
the auction is at www.bonhams.com
