[Tigers] BRG

[Allan Ballard]

Folks who have zero trouble spotting Forest Green 86 from 20 yards away suddenly go color blind on the concours?

Personally, I enjoy cars with personal choice colors. Perhaps one day I’ll repaint mine a shade of blue, in remembrance of my
First tiger back in the 60s.

But show me a judge who can’t spot Forest Green 86 and you’ll identify a judge who should volunteer for another
Assignment.

As far as “...no da swirls,” well only if there were no swirls from the factory.  But then..., what is original? Say there were no swirls from the factory but in the dealer prep process they appeared. And the first time buyer never sees the car until after dealer prep. So, what is original?  Will it get to the point that judges microscopically check the barely discernable swirl spacing, test the tires for 1960’s air? A while back I recall reading about judging to the extent that points were awarded because there was a hint of grease on the Zerk fitting and that was deemed “more original!”
