<font size=3>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. <br>

That was very interesting. And while not a buyer I did enjoy reading the
write-up. Three things did stand out to me. One, RHD Tigers seem strange
with that <i>‘oh so far to the left’ </i>shifter. Almost as if the
driver steers and the passenger shifts. Two, (I go here with some
reservation) are those factory rivets? I ask not to contest, just
curious. Three, should the buyer be “out of the country” how does one
ship and insure the near priceless Mk. II side trim (the ad is a little
confusing as to what is currently installed but the images seem to more
support the Mk. II trim is not installed)?<br>

I know that we have Tiger web sites that have many of the various, unique
Tigers. However, those pages seem to be independent to the cars
themselves. I don’t recall that they have ALL been amassed in
their own special section so as to progressively see one after
another. The Miles and Shelby (Boskoff) Tigers get the bulk of the
attention so that until now I didn’t know of these Mark II
prototypes.<br>

<br>
One of three Mk 2 Tiger prototypes is for sale on the U.K. Ebay
site. Interesting car - has Mk 2 trim on a Mk 1 body.
Originally it had both Mk1 and Mk 2 trim, but the Mk 1 trim was
removed. Only about $120K.</font></blockquote></body>
