65Beam - that would be Peter Matthews. I used to bring back new Edelbrock manifolds, holley carbs etc from Florida for him !
I was at SUNI 1 as well, great meeting, maybe we met ?

I think there's one of those cameras in Holsworthy, Devon.......

Hello again from a Broad ( :roll: ) are you aware that all the Europe spec "Alpine 260 's " (read Export Tiger) had the B 947 chassis # punch - stamped into the bodyshell ( Graham Vickery can show you exactly where - cue pic, please Graham 8), - into the bulkhead, as well as the rivetted body tag) f...

I wonder if this guy is reading this thread with interest ... ?

as far as I am concerned, this is STILL a Tiger, despite the reshell....
what do you all think ?

[quote="Tim"]Ok, I‘ve stayed out of this so far but my view on the subject is quite simple; If a car/shell went down the production line at Jensen then it’s a Tiger. If it didn’t then it’s not.[/quote] Really ????? then the 73 Tigers that didn't go down Jensen's production line, but were built in So...

A HOT potato - indeed ! but it makes for excellent, and informative reading, the same issue could be said about Corvettes, it's so easy to mix'n'match body parts /styles and create something that wasn't, but as Mal says, it's only the matching numbers that warrant top dollar. Wait till I get into pr...

Hello again guys - so here's a thought - what IF, a european spec Alpine 260 is beyond repair, and the owner transplants it into ALPINE shell, then is that tolerated by those who don't agree with the laissez-faire attitude of some of us ? An interesting thought, eh Graham ? (he whom has a special in...

Morning, Red Race, I'm up for it ! definitely a new thread, as I am sure it will be a very hot topic (heated ) once others views are put forward.
Perfect topic for the long, ccold winter evenings over there....

Your move.

Perhaps Norman Miller bought it .....
americans love mom's apple pie.

With that registration, obviously originally supplied by Hartwells
(George Hartwell, Holdenhurst Rd. bournemouth )

not a car I have ever seen before, despite it being in my home town.

Would love to know exactly where that garden is... does it come with the apples too ??

Wonderful pics, thankyou so much, Guys.
Swanage is where I grew up, and I am there every year in the summer, what a pity I missed this by only 3 weeks, GRRRRRrrrr !
(back in early May, with another suitcase of tiger spares from the Caribbean !!! )

Now WHY does this registration plate GFX 48 D (DORSET) ring bells ??

- is this tiger down in that area still..... ? Christchurch ??

Commodore Blue !!! John's Mk11 still looks the bees knees, I remember it well from the 80's, and have many period pics of it with my first Mk 1.

As a member once said - "Bottom line you can't read a digital copy in the bath " ..... well, you COULD, on an i-fone or i-pad !! but I would prefer to read mine on my sunlounger under my favorite palm tree, the only problem being, they don't get here by post......... (perhaps Graham, you could bring...

Hello from the dark side of the moon ...... I have my doubts that is even a real Tiger !! (tried to post up the pic of SI - KW 4 via photobucket, but doesn't seem possible) look at the strange indicator/sidelight fittings, and no stainless strip on the sides, methinks it was shipped in from "Algeria...
