[Tigers] B382001560's Restoration

[Robert Hogan]

Hagerty's people are restoring a different Tiger.  The Motor Trend article I saved defined Hagerty's restoration car as a Mk II, although its VIN isn't identified.  Adam Hammer said they were over at his shop and noticed my car's restoration progress, commenting how it still has its irreplaceable stock steering wheel and the relatively superb body condition.  (I've kept B382001560 garaged since I bought it on 6/10/69 and only once did it travel in snow through Flagstaff on its way to Williams AFB near Chandler, AZ on January 2nd, 1971.)

Hey, Rob:

The paint looks great on your Tiger!!!  Just out of curiosity, though...I was speaking with a representative at Hagerty Insurace Company a while back when I needed to make some changes on my policy, and the guy who I was talking to said that they were restoring a Tiger Mk1A a their shop.  Since they are located in Traverse City, MI, I was just wondering if your car was the one that he was talking about.  

Have a great Thanksgiving,
