I think it will sell for a lot more than 1600 would not be suprised to see anything up to £8000.
we all know this will end up reshelled into an Alpine.

If all documents are with this car, I think it will go up to 3000 bucks.
It is the same if you restore a bad car, or a absolutelly bad car (like this). In both case the best way is to use an alpine body.

I contacted the seller to get more details;
Yes it is a genuine Tiger and not an Alpine.
Chassis Number B9473290
Reg Number GEL 264D
Thanks[
It'll be interesting to see if it turns up again...

It is on the Tiger register as a parts car, but a genuine Tiger.
£5000 buy + £2000 Alpine body shell. Respray & a bit of work =£15000+ Tiger to sell. Makes sense. Wish I could find a wreck for £100 scrap like this one!

Its interesting, the Tiger 1 I am restoring has absoutly no rust, it has panel damage that I am working on. It is a earlier one, B9471122LRXFE. The benefit of a long life in dry California. Will be posting piccies when I have something to show. Oh, it cost me 20K dollars

At least the seller has all the parts in dry storage. A pity the Tiger wasn't kept in dry storage though. It's amazing how much a rusted wreck can go for.

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 ??
