How about this then...?

After listening to the various points of view trying hard to avoid continual repetition - I can actually see a consensus emerging and with that maybe a suggested way forward - which the club can administer as part of the register we keep today (maybe but I am sure Graham will be folding his arms at ...

My two penneth

If it has the original chassis, top hats, gearbox tunnel, tub and tags with everything or anything else that may have been restored its a Tiger If it's a complete re-shell with a swap of the tags and added Tiger bits its an Alpine conversion Do what you like to the engine Ideally it should be a Tige...
