[Tigers] Mk 2 Prototype for sale

[Norman C. Miller]

Come on guys!  Surely you've all got a copy of 
Mike Taylor's book, or at least had a chance to 
thumb through its pages.  It's not like the "AF" 
development story hasn't been covered in some 
detail.  However, regardless of the 
"word-smithing", the vehicle being offered and 
identified with English registration EHP 621C 
pays little homage to the left hand drive machine 
registered by Humber on the 10th of March, 
1965.  And, no the chassis plate is not affixed 
with "original" rivets.  But, since (according to 
the information in Taylor's book) all twenty one 
of these cars were pulled from regular Alpine 
production, pedigree (in the sense we associate 
with regular production) is not in play.
Emacs!
