[Tigers] MkIA on Racing Junk

[Stephen Waybright]

That being the case, there should be very little or no market premium paid due to the inspired tribute to HSC 55. Whoever sold it in the mid-$100k's sold very well for a racing "inspired" modified Tiger restoration that is otherwise of no historic significance.

I still haven't seen it in person. guy who runs the shop is playing phone tag with me and im waiting for his call. on this note, I have never been in the physical presence of the HSC 55 car...but I have lots of good pictures of it and in my opinion ( I have learned to phrase my statements carefully) this car here in okc appears to be built in the "inspiration of". I don't think its accurate or intended to be that accurate down to that level. for one thing, Dave Stones/ Doane Spencer car has a black dash, red engine bay paint color etc. This "tribute" is black under the hood, has a metallic dash, etc. I think its just supposed to be an inspiration of, with creative liberties beyond that.

Being a "tribute" to the Doane Spencer car, this seems a bit expensive @ $120k - $150k, depending on who built it and how tightly the details line up with the real thing... unless of course we're expecting any fully restored Tiger to now be upper $100s.
