Red, "You're not going to win this debate, neither is dude." Game, set, match. It's all over but the shouting from you. Your arguments don't add up to a hill of beans. Why is that? You need facts to back up any points you try to make in a discussion and so far, you have presented none. "Recently at...

If were talking the process, at what point does a door become a Tiger door, or for that matter any panel. I just remembered Oh a door doesnt count, or a bonnet or a boot or a front wing or a rear wing, or sills, or floors, or front valance or rear valance or cruxiform or A posts or in one case? the...

Gentlemen, these are the facts and you cannot dispute the facts. FACT: This discussion revolves around one issue; can someone in their shed/garage/shop create a genuine Sunbeam Tiger by applying parts on an Alpine chassis. Also, will that creation be regarded by the Tiger community as a legitimate ...

Re: Replicants

Maybe they are scared a Blade Runner will terminate them. The first step on the slippery slope is when a owner buys a valve cover tag from Sunbeam Specialties cause it looks a little tatty, and hammers out numbers that may or may not be correct. The idea that our friend spouts here that they can do...

" I have no idea of what you are trying to say. I guess to you it is okay to rebadge Alpines as Tigers but there are some people who may disagree. Obviously you have no idea what I'm trying to say, or youre just a wind up merchant. Let me remind you this thread is about the acceptability of using a...

Dude Im saying as Graham reiterated. The car is a Tiger but it was built using an Alpine shell. I also think the South African built cars and the Williams & Pritchard cars are Tigers. All of these facts lend themselves to a reshell being acceptable, unless its you, who doesnt think they are Tigers. ...

Hi dude My point is that ADU 638B as an example, is known as Tiger. However it is a modified Alpine, fact. And as you stated works cars being reshelled is not a problem for me but for some it seems this act makes the car a fraud. Its all about personal perception and interpretation of the facts, not...

Ergo Tigers are Alpines with V8s and a J instead of a S and the most significant Tigers are actually modified Alpines with a different name on the side of the car. Brilliant.

Gas would help, but could be stinky. Always wondered what other people have done when they did it them selves.

Oh god, I needed 2 glasses to have the courage to write this but it just occured to me that the protoype Tigers are Alpines with V8s and SALs. So are they Tigers or modified Alpines?
