[Tigers] HACK-'N-TAC

[Brock Tella]

I ranted on this years ago when TAC started. My thought that if you had a verifiable title to a Tiger, than utilizing an Alpine frame to put the Tiger parts on would be ok. There have been many Tigers with unrebuildable chassis. At the Monterey Concours, they present cars  that have been totally remade with no original parts and sell for Millions. To me I would love to see more Tigers as long as no one is making one up.

  Seriously though this has come up before without a clear cut answer (and 
just who is "ordained" to answer it anyway)???  It seems a matter of flow. 
By that, if Alpine parts move towards the meager remains of a Tiger, it 
still remains a Tiger. But if Tiger parts flow to an Alpine it becomes an 
Alger.  The wisest thing seems to be to have the car TAC-ed BEFORE any 
restoration - regardless of dilapidation.  Is the day coming when a basket 
case (but verifiable) Tiger dipped in POR-15 is worth more than a nicely 
restored Tiger with considerable replacement parts that question its 
origins?

If the end result of this "rebuild" was every presented for a TAC
inspection, anyone care to speculate on the odds a certificate would
be awarded?
